Scholl Breaks Fibula, Chargers Seek New QB

They more things change, the more they stay the same! Last season Hillsdale got off to a 2-2 start only to lose quarterback Aaron Scholl for the season with a broken collar bone during the Saginaw Valley game.

This year, Hillsdale got off to a 2-2 start only to lose quarterback Aaron Scholl for the season. It is a broken fibula this time, but the impact on the team and program remain the same. The Chargers have to hand the ball to a new quarterback during the toughest string of games of the season.

At least the back-ups this season went through the same experience last year. Jesse Hoskins took over against Saginaw once again, throwing for 99 yards last week. Last year, Hoskins got the nod to continue as the starter for the Northwood game only to have then true freshman Mark Nicolet took the reigns half through the Grand Valley game, leading the Chargers to a pair of wins to finish the season against Mercyhurst and Wayne State.

With the return of Scholl this season, all plans were for Nicolet to spend this season as a red-shirt, giving him an extra year of elgibility after Scholl leaves next season. That is likely to change now.

Last season, Hoskins completed 40 of 72 passes for 397 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. Nicolet was 59 of 109 for 508 yards, 1 touchdown, and 5 interceptions.
