Davey recorded 21 completions on 31 attempts for 249 yards and five touchdowns with one interception in the season opener. He is also confident that he's ready to step up if he is needed as the starter Sunday.
"I'll definitely be ready on Sunday. If A.G. can't go, I'll be ready to step in and help the team, said Davey. "We're looking to get that first win of the year, so I'm definitely prepared to do that."
