DuRocher's career over

This has already been posted in other places on the blog, but I'll put it out here as well, the news that Johnny DuRocher's football career is over.

Here's a story from Scout.com which includes a quote from DuRocher about doctors finding a brain tumor during some medical exams he had last week following his concussion.

We were also able to confirm the news and wrote a story that is here.

Obviously, that's the big news of the day. Football implications of the news pale in comparison to DuRocher's health. But from a football standpoint, it means UW will have only Carl Bonnell returning as an experienced QB for the Huskies next season with Jake Locker the only other returnee at the spot. UW also has a commitment from a high school QB, Ronnie Fouch.

UW coach Tyrone Willingham held his final Monday press conference of the year today though he didn't talk about DuRocher (the school will likely have an official comment sometime later today or tonight).

Among the things Willingham said is that he does not expect to make any changes in his coaching staff, nor does he expect any of his coaches to leave.
