Fenti finally off and throwing

Tyler Fenti dropped back in the pocket, scanned his receiving options and fired a pass to Ryan Kramer for a short 3-yard completion.
Never before had Fenti cherished such a minimal gain on a football field. Then again, Fenti wondered if he'd ever get the chance he got this past Saturday -- to start at quarterback for St. John Fisher.
Fenti, now a senior, has taken a long, winding road full of speed bumps to the starting job. But two major injuries, hours of standing on the sidelines and years of waiting couldn't stop him from completing that pass to Kramer -- his first attempt as a college starter -- in the Cardinals' 28-0 road win against Otterbein in the season opener.
"There were a lot of times where I doubted, 'Should I keep doing this, put myself through this?'" Fenti said. "But I knew football has been a huge passion of mine over the years and I knew I never quit anything, so I stuck with it."
Fenti arrived at St. John Fisher in 2010 as a highly regarded recruit. At the time, Tim Bailey was firmly entrenched as the starter and would eventually go on to have one of the finest seasons in school history, but the thought was that Fenti could gain valuable experience on the JV team and push for the starting job in 2011.
