Stanford turns to Chryst at QB
Stanford junior Keller Chryst will make his first collegiate start at quarterback at Arizona on Saturday, coach David Shaw said.
He’ll replace senior Ryan Burns, who went 4-3 (2-3 Pac-12) in his seven starts. Burns completed nearly 63 percent of his passes for 1,058 yards and five touchdowns. He’s also thrown seven interceptions. In other news: • Alabama safety Eddie Jackson had surgery to repair a fractured left leg. The senior was injured on a punt return early in the fourth quarter against Texas A&M on Saturday. Jackson had 24 tackles and returned two punts and an interception for a touchdown this season for No. 1 Alabama.
