    PGT has been playing special teams since the week after he left the game. No need to know who the back up to DeLuca is as CLJ would move back over there if anything happened to Nick. But PGT, Stumpf, Plank, and Leikhus would be my guesses for backups.

    I am so sick of the Bison already. Win this, win that, blah, blah, blah. I'd really, really like to know how they do it. I swear they have to be the luckiest sob's on the planet. Just sick of this bs, just fed up.

    I actually think talent wise Duluca in the middle is an upgrade over CLJ (less the experience). CLJ is better suited for outside LB and I think is technically better in coverage then Beck ( i know some of you disagree). However, I think Beck does have that IT factor that shows up and you cant replace that. IMHO. as a unit the TB, CLJ, ET groups was the best LB unit due to experience. I think with TB out, the weakness is dependent on someone exploiting Deluca's inexperience. With saying that he has knocked two RB out of a game for a series. so there is that...kid can hit and the two INT.


    BTW, TB was/is my favorite player that kid is tough tough tough much respect!


    As far as drop off is concerned, I am worried about Franloff(SP) and the rotation

    What's Farnloff's injury?

    If you wore the uniform...you're a champion.

    Season ending surgery today. Bryce Messner, a redshirt freshman, replaced him on the depth chart released last week. He played a few reps in the 3rd and quite of few plays in the 4th. Recorded 1 tackle.

    A torn pec is usually season ending no matter when it happens.

    Thats kinda what I was thinking, a tron peck despite the degree of tear would need to a lot of time to heal
