Colorado to start junior quarterback
The Associated Press
BOULDER, Colo. — Colorado quarterback Kordell Stewart, the country's second-ranked passer, will not make the trip to Minnesota for tomorrow night's game because of a sprained left foot.
Junior Duke Tobin, who replaced the injured Stewart in the second half of last week's game at Baylor, will start Tobin completed 10 of 15 passes for 154 yards and one touchdown against Baylor. Colorado scored on four possessions under his direction.
Stewart, a sophomore, did not practice Tuesday or Wednesday. Coach Bill McCartney has a policy of not playing a player if he does not practice before Thursday of game week. "It's still sore right now," Stewart said. "I could play, but I'm taking precautions. I'll get treatment and come back and be 100 percent for Iowa
(next week)."
"Stewart will not make the trip," McCartney said. "If he continues to improve, we could conceivably have him next week for Iowa. He's too tender right now."
Tobin, who will be making his first start since high school in 1988, was running fourth-string during much of the preseason.
“The last two weeks the accuracy of his passing, in my estimation, has been particularly good,” McCartney said.
Tobin, who transferred to Colorado from Illinois last fall, has been plagued by interceptions during his brief career at Colorado.
His Baylor performance boosted his confidence, however.
"I think after last week they (Colorado coaches) realize I can step in and move the team," he said.

Mat-Su Miners, that is.
The two Jayhawks, along with teammate Jinny Walker, played about 45 games in the Alaska Central Baseball League. Walker played for the Kenai Peninsula Oilers.
The Miners and Oliers consist of college players from around the United States who play in an Alaskan summer league.
"Basically they're all-star teams," Soult said. "A coach can hand-pick the players he wants."
Mark Martinez, a baseball coach at the University of New Mexico, asked Rude and Soult to play for the Miners in signing to Kansas coach Dave Bingham.
Rude, a sophomore, said that he played primarily as a designated hitter but also saw action at right field for the Miners.
Soult, Cincinnati senior, was a relief pitcher. He went 2-1 with two saves.
"It got me a lot more at-bats against some really good pitching," Rude
Rude said that several professional baseball scouts attended the games because it was an opportunity for them to see many college prospects from different schools around the country at the same time.
said. "The quality of pitching up there was great."
The players in the Alaskan leagues stayed with host families in the cities where their teams were located. Squall said that one part of life in Alaska was particularly difficult to get used to.
"It almost never gets dark there during the summer," he said. "You have to cover your windows with towels to sleep."
"I threw a lot of innings, but I didn't get a lot of save opportunities," Soult said.
Walker's team probably caused the Miners a few more sleepless nights. In nine meetings with the Miners, the Oilers won eight games.
Walker, a senior who was 3-4 with
three saves this summer, said it was fun playing against his teammate.
"I pitched them just like any other batter," Walker said. "I've done it before."
Walker, from Nickerson, also pitched for the Oilers last summer. He made a trip to Kansas with the team that year to compete in the National Baseball Congress Tournament in Wichita. The Oilers took second.
Walker said that playing in Alaska was a valuable experience.

"It gives you a chance to get away from everything and work on the things you need to work on," he said. "You get a lot of game experience."
Kansas hitting coach Brad Hill said that many Kansas players participated in leagues this summer but in different parts of the country. He said the leagues were particularly beneficial to younger players.
"They'l mature in leaps and bounds," Hill said. "It's the first time they're in a situation that's very similar to the minor leagues. There are no breaks in the schedule. We find out how much they like to play."
