CFB: QB throws without problem as ASU set for Oregon
Associated Press
TEMPE, Ariz. — Arizona State quarterback Rudy Carpenter threw in practice yesterday for the first time since he sprained the thumb on his throwing hand.Carpenter is expected to play when the sixth-ranked Sun Devils visit No. 4 Oregon on Saturday.
"I thought he threw it real well," coach Dennis Erickson said.
Carpenter sprained his thumb handing off to tailback Keegan Herring in ASU's 31-20 victory over California last weekend.
Carpenter wore a glove on his throwing hand in practice so he could grip the ball better. Erickson said he doubted Carpenter would use the glove in Oregon.
"Today he wanted to use it, so that's fine," Erickson said.
