QB Brewer gives himself a `thumbs-up’

Andrew Brewer, who made his first college start in Saturday’s loss at Penn State, gave himself good reviews after studying the film. “There are corrections that need to be done but, overall, I thought it was a pretty solid performance,” said Brewer, who was excused from extensive post-practice running Tuesday because he’s recovering from the flu. . . . Brewer shared practice time with the No. 1 unit with Mike Kafka. . . . Senior safety Bryan Heinz, who injured an ankle while practicing for the season opener, survived his first full practice since then on Tuesday and expects to play in some role “if all goes as planned.”
