A Superior Court judge continued the underage drunk driving case involving an East Carolina University quarterback until January.

Sophomore Robert Kass faces one count of driving while impaired and driving after consuming by a person under 21. The charges stem from an Aug. 25 police checkpoint where he registered a .19 blood alcohol content when stopped — twice the legal limit.

Kass' attorney, Myron Hill Jr., requested Tuesday that the case be continued and Pitt County Superior Court Judge Charles Vincent complied. Kass will return to court Jan. 7. Hill refused comment on the reason behind rescheduling.

Following his arrest, Kass was suspended for the team's opening game of the season, against Virginia Tech, in Blacksburg, Va. He has played in each game since, sharing time with fellow quarterback Patrick Pinkney.

Wonder if the rescheduling has anything to do with the end of football season? :Doh:
