It's not sand bagging this time. I don't know the extent of the injury, and I am sure that if he can stand on one foot then he will do whatever he can to be in the game. But the guy owns nearly every passing record in school history plus is one of our top rushers. So, his injury is a game changer.
And one of our top defenders went out late as well. If he's hurt, then that will be huge as well.
I do understand what you are saying about the mind games in the past, but this time it is real.
