Lewis regains starting corner spot for Warriors
By Stephen Tsai
Advertiser Staff Writer
Lewis had started two games. But he missed two tackles against Idaho, and was displaced as the starter for last week's road game against Utah State.
A.J. Martinez started that game, but he left because of soreness in his left knee.
On Monday, Ryan Keomaka was listed as the No. 1 left cornerback.
But Miano said Lewis has been "just a little more consistent in practice this week. We make a designated starter on Monday based upon who started the last game or who played the best. Then during practice, we re-evaluate it. We're not down on Ryan, but Gerard has a little more consistency."
Miano said Keomaka "will be the first off the bench" and will play extensively, too.
Miano reaffirmed that free safety Leonard Peters, who has been bothered by a sore right knee, will start. Mike Malala is the immediate backup.
