Carted off field

Shows out in relief
Chriss completed 14 of 20 passes for 174 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 41-21 win over UAB. He also had six rushes for 103 yards with two touchdowns.

Could compete for starting gig
Chriss is expected to compete with Chandler Fields (abdomen) in fall camp for the starting gig under center in 2023, Cory diaz of the Lafayette Daily Advertiser reports.
ANALYSIS
Chriss took all of the first-team reps during spring practice with Fields and Ben Wooldridge (knee) both sidelined, and he seems to have a shot to win the starting job. Fields has experience on his side and played reasonably well under center last year, so Chriss may need to have a strong showing in camp to unseat the incumbent, though Wooldridge isn't expected to be ready during the preseason camp this fall.
