Now it's Lex Hilliard's turn. On Nov. 14, Osweiler, who graduated from Flathead High School last year, became the first true freshman to start at quarterback for Arizona State University since Jake Plummer in 1993. Osweiler was 5 of 10 for 14 yards before leaving with a shoulder injury in the second quarter. He is expected to be healthy enough to play this weekend, but will not start again. Hilliard, another Flathead graduate, has now moved into the No. 2 running back position behind Ricky Williams on the Miami Dolphins' depth chart. Ronnie Brown, the starting running back, is out for the season with a foot injury. Hilliard has seen time in games this year on special teams, but has yet to take an NFL snap. As the backup running back, that should change fairly soon.
