STORRS, Conn. (AP)—Connecticut coach Randy Edsall says quarterback Tyler Lorenzen is expected to be out six to eight weeks following surgery on his broken right foot.

The No. 24 Huskies lost Lorenzen and starting tight end Steve Brouse in Friday night’s 26-21 win at Louisville.

Edsall says Brouse also will miss up to eight weeks after surgery on his broken right leg.

Sophomore Zach Frazer replaced Lorenzen and went 8-of-15 for 90 yards and a touchdown. Edsall says Frazer will start for UConn (5-0) when the Huskies visit North Carolina on Saturday night.

This is a big blow for them as Lorenzen is a big part of that offense and a significant threat as a rusher. They are going to have to lean on Brown even more.

Agreed.. Lorenzen was playing well.. Might be the difference in their game with UNC, because the Tar Heels found Cameron Sexton last week against Miami and he's picking up were TJ Yates left off.
