AJ Hairston News: Splits reps in blowout loss

Hairston was 13-for-21 passing for 91 yards during Wednesday's 45-3 defeat versus Northern Illinois. He also had three rushes for 23 yards.

Hairston started out the game for the Minutemen for the Wednesday showing, but he ended up splitting reps with position mate Brandon Rose. Hairston has struggled as UMass's starting quarterback so far this campaign, so it's not much of a surprise that the coaches are trying out other options. It's unknown how involved he'll be at Ohio next Tuesday now.
