Mitch Buhler Expected to be Washburn QB
QBs Joel Piper (on left) and Mitch Buhler with Washburn Coach Shurig on media day
After starting 10 of the 11 games last year, junior Mitch Buhler is expected to be the starting Washburn quarterback again this year. However, he is being pushed hard by Joel Piper who spent a considerable amount of time on the field last year. The departure of redshirt freshman Littell leaves the Ichabods with only Buhler and Piper to carry the load.
