Hodges replaces Skinner
Sophomore Brett Hodges, another 6-1 Floridian, was locked in a battle with Skinner for the backup position last season until he separated his shoulder about two weeks before the opener. In the world of double hypothesis, Hodges could have been Skinner, 2006 version.
At the outset of the 2007 season, he took over Skinner’s job with a quarter to go.
“It was really different, obviously,” Hodges said. “It’s so much faster. Just being right there, you’ve got to get the job done. Watching Riley do it and being my third year in the program, it was kind of second nature.”
Compared to Skinner last year, Hodges faced far different circumstances, trailing 35-21. Hodges completed 17 of 23 attempts for 130 yards and a 12-yard touchdown pass to Kevin Harris, his former high-school teammate in Winter Springs. That wasn’t enough, mainly because the Eagles smothered Richard Belton twice on short-yardage plays near midfield with 3½ minutes left.
