Rashada didn’t disappoint in his first career start. He went 18-31 for 256 yards and 2 touchdowns in the win vs. Southern Utah.
One of his touchdowns came on a 4th down play where he hit wide receiver Xavier Guillory for a 47-yard score to get the rhythm of the offense going.

It was reported on Tuesday that Rashada will start in second consecutive start on Saturday vs. Oklahoma State while starter Drew Pyne continues to nurse his hamstring injury that he suffered in Fall camp.
If Rashada puts on another great performance, things will only become tougher for coach Dillingham when he has to name a starter for the rest of the season.
