Williams, Russell practicing; Powers returns



Yale coach Tony Reno said both quarterbacks Eric Williams and Derek Russell are practicing this week. He was unsure who would start at QB Saturday against Brown.
And yes, there could be some more wildcat to come. Reno also said Tyler Varga continues to get snaps at quarterback. Henry Furman will also remain under center. Furman, a third-string QB last season moved to WR and is now back at QB.
Furman stepped in for Varga at QB at times in last week’s loss to Columbia, including on the game’s final drive. Furman completed 3-of-8 passes for 34 yards.
“He did a solid job,” said Reno of Furman. “We asked a lot of him. He did a great job at WR and with all the injuries, he was receptive to it (move back to QB). He’s a team guy. He got in the game and made the most of the opportunities.”
Also, Sr. DB and former Hopkins star John Powers has returned from an arm injury and is expected to play Saturday at Brown. That should be somewhat of a boost for the Bulldogs defense, which ranks last in the Ivy League. 
Lastly, here's a feature on Tyler Varga's impressive start to his Yale career.
