They're not talking about one player. They're talking about 8 out of 22 starters. And from an 85 player roster, they don't even have scholarship backups and have to resort to walkons? I guess all the 2nd string scholarship players are in jail.
Moeaki has been injured once, as far as I recall, but it was last September. If he can't even practice seven months later, why would you count on him? What kind of football shape will he be in if and when he is able to practice?
