Farkes out for three to six weeks
Maine quarterback Adam Farkes will miss three to six weeks with a left shoulder injury according to the sports information department.
Farkes had offseason shoulder surgery on the same shoulder last year - his nonthrowing arm.
Farkes has thrown nine TDs this season, completing 79-of-147 passes with six interceptions in six games.
He left Maine's 27-10 win over Delaware after taking a hard hit in the second quarter.
Backup Michael Brusko, who was Maine's starter at the beginning of last season, will take the reins for Maine.
Brusko entered Saturday's game with Maine trailing 10-3, and scored on a 5-yard run to snap a 10-10 tie and gave Maine it's first lead.
Maine will host Hofstra at 3 p.m. on Saturday at Alfond Stadium.
