We fall a little in the polls during the off-week, down to 13 (M)/15 (C).
The injury list is a little longer today - thanks to the no-talent hacks from Colorado State.
- QB Harold Edwards - tough guy wants to play through a broken jaw. I expect that we will reduce his snaps, but still give him some time.
- OG Bill Westbrook - a torn elbow tendon doesn't keep this offensive lineman down. We need him to provide leadership to a very young group.
- DT Dat Cash - resting a torn hamstring. We won't give him the option to be available.
- CB Ken Byrd - we'll sit him and his strained MCL. CB is thin with this injury, the suspension, and the overall lack of talent or understanding of coverage.
- FS Greg Moore - strained bicep will sideline him. We are begging teams to pass on us right now.
- SS Noland King - strained neck. Another guy we will rest, if we have enough bodies to play.
Time to burn the redshirt on a stiff at safety. FS Ken Roberg, a walkon, is brought in to help put 11 men on the field. Ken has few redeeming qualities, but one of them is that he is indestructible. Slow, not terribly bright, and possessing hands of stone, but indestructible.
We play with the depth chart and I take this opportunity to get B. Arthur some more playing time - special teams duty, here he comes.
Southern Cal is back atop the polls. Guess the voters liked what they saw in a 49-13 ambush of Kansas. There were no losses in the Top 25 this week. That will change, as there are a number of good games coming up.
