...almost from the beginning of the season.

Thomas goes down? In steps Weisman
Jones takes over for Weisman.
JRM goes down? Cortez and Sapp step up.
Kirkland goes down? In steps Jumper
Sapp goes down. In step Bates, Bynum, and Elliot Berry
Sutton goes down? In comes Foreman and Buchanon
Abernathy goes down? In steps Berry.
Hurd goes down? Kamara and Kelly do it.
Danny OBrien?
Weisman?
McDowell?

I could go on. I've watched college football for almost four decades, and I have never seen anything like the number of injuries that this team has dealt with. It's the craziest damn thing I've even seen happen to one team.

And the idea that we keep plugging holes, and are sitting on a 5-1 record is just mind-blowing.
