How many starters are we down at this moment? And of those, are done for the year? I'm trying to figure out if we are in some kind of slump, or just down a lot of players.

RB 1 DESMOND REID LG 70 CHRISTIAN COULTER RG 73 XAVIER GRAHAM RT 66 DEREK SIMMONS
LB 5 Hayward McQueen S 3 SAMAURIE DUKES
K 46 PAXTON ROBERTSON
Possibly: 0 A.J. COLOMBO

Yesterday's game was a showing of how banged up we are (not an excuse for the ugly game, just an observation).
I am worried about Columbo. The hit he took diving for that catch was vicious. When he didn't move for what seemed like 4 or 5 minutes, I was thinking it was a spinal injury. Thankfully he was able to walk off the field in his own
Watched the replay on ESPN+ when I got home from Spartanburg, and his neck really got whipped back. Hoping Columbo will be OK

Wasn't that the targeting hit that got the Wofford guy ejected? Any word on how he is? That sounded really bad on radio.

COLOMBO Dukes played yesterday Dukes, Graham and Coulter all played yesterday for sure. Hopefully none were hurt during the game. Still dealing with that scrambled o-line. Last week Sanez was a first time starter, this week Watson, a true freshman, started instead. Would be great to get Simmons and Carter back, but it seems like Carter might be out for the year.

I did not expect to see him walk off. So that was a very good sign (regardless of if he plays this week or not). Really tough kid, so I bet he is back sooner rather than later.
ETSU has figured out how to score some in the last few weeks (minus the Furman game). They are also a very banged-up group especially at QB, but they scored 41 against Wofford a few weeks back and 24 against a pretty good VMI defense. We have to expect both teams we have left on the schedule would like nothing more than to ruin our season.
No matter who plays, we have to play more inspired and a lot more disciplined. Stupid penalties and then bone-head mistakes/turnovers are what let teams beat you. And we are finding plenty of both the last two games.

... LG 70 CHRISTIAN COULTER RG 73 XAVIER GRAHAM RT 66 DEREK SIMMONS This is what I worry about the most. Earlier in the season we dominated the offensive line and right here was a core of why.

Believe Graham and Coulter are healthy and Carter and Simmons are not
