Well, this is a kick in the balls.

You guys are fucking with me, right?
Don't matter. FIVE-PEAT!
On a team that I legitimately hate the two players I absolutely love to watch play are done for the year.... this is horrible news. Hopefully both can fully recover.
If there is any team that is deep enough to overcome this, it's us. To start camp we were so deep it's almost unfair.
Where this really hurts us in nickel pass coverage. Matt Plank is great vs the run so well need to find someone to man the middle in nickel like Carlton Littlejohn did. Someone who can tackle and cover.

Thank you Deluca for being someone I looked forward to watching every game. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and I hope an NFL team sees your talent and gives you the shot you deserve.
As bad as I feel for Deluca this is going to be the immediate concern against a team like EWU. It would be great if Board could move over to WLB and allow Cox to step in at SLB but I doubt either of those guys would be ready for that on such short notice. I would guess it'll be Plank and Board out there in the nickel instead and hope for the best.
Wow, feel terrible for Nick.
This stinks, I hope he has a speedy recovery. Rivalry or not, I don't like seeing these kids going down. They've all worked so hard. Best of luck Nick!
