Game 3 Depth Chart / Game Notes | Colgate

Not sure a power back is needed vs Colgate, but already the RB room will have a strange look to it. Nixon won be running 20 times so someone will need to get 10-15 carries. If for no other reason that Nixon may see some heavy use next week for Clemson.
Colgate has hung tough with FCS Top 25 teams. Gets more interesting without Willis.

Ya look I mean SU is a huge favorite for a reason but you don't want to be down to many starters in any game.

Willis took a hit to what looked like the side of his head early last week going out of bounds. He left for one play but came back in. Wonder if he had some lingering effects this week.
Clearly, they are trying to rest anyone who is questionable to get ready for Clemson. Probably wise, and if they can't beat Colgate by 21-28 points down a few starters well I don't know what to say

ANY of our starters who is more than a little dinged up, should be sitting this one out.
Take the time to get them right, while we can.

Would rather "only" beat Gate by 2-3 scores, while resting anybody with an "owie"
than risk prolonging and/or further injury to dudes were gonna need BIGLY vs. Clemson the following week.

Will be nice to see what some of the 2's and 3's, especially the younger guys, can do in live game reps.
 
It's a running board joke to reference potatoes when talking about injuries.

Often with the word "dreaded."

For example, "Oh no, he's in a boot, must be the dreaded potato ankle."

It's fun. Cathartic for handling a bummer situation like injury.
It's extra bad if the potatoes are "shaky." Like really really bad.

yup. we also have a lot of depth that will be great to play. honestly it'll make the game more interesting to watch seeing malachi get some carries, some youth play on the OL and hopefully some youngsters get run at WR and at DL.

100% it's a good opportunity for a number of guys. Should be fine and still an easy win

I'll also add that we benefit very little from playing our top talent, and having them light up Colgate if we played them beginning to end. This is a tune up game where the starters hopefully have some success, but then many of them can get pulled to give other guys a chance to get some developmental PT and to gain some confidence.

As the past few years have shown, injuries are going to occur, and the more depth we can accelerate readiness for, the better.
 
I know we used to complain about how hot it was in there in the pre AC days, but lord have mercy it was about 15 degrees in there last weekend! I’m bringing a winter hat tomorrow night.
 
Re: Hatcher. His right leg has a full sleeve on it and he's definitely wearing a very bulky knee brace. Wouldn't surprise me if they are trying for a medical redshirt.


Thank you for the update!

Now I need to tell my Pops we probably wont be seeing his favorite player. We met Umari's Mom/family during quad walk last year. Great family. He just needs to get healthy and get some reps then he can be a real threat.
