For the most part, they had to do that on their own.

I think Yarbrough deserves to be on that list, even though he hasn't exactly stood out in most games so far. He's at least caused a lot of pressure and forced fumbles...

Tore his ACL.

mwc fan wrote:Oh crap! I was afraid of that. Seems like we have the football gods against us this season. They were on our side early in the year then something happened. After the second half against Hawaii the Wheels have been falling off. Brian Hill needs to step up his game and start producing while he gives Wick a break. DJ was valuable in the return game and as a change of pace Back. Next man up again.

Cowduck wrote:The silver lining to all the injuries is a bunch of young guys are guaranteed to get valuable game experience. I really feel for all of these guys who are suffering season, or in some cases, career-ending injuries, and their losses will be felt very severely in the near term. But if there's any positive, it's that in the long view it will pay dividends in depth down the road. This was always going to be a long rebuilding project, so it sucks for these guys and it sucks for us as fans right now, but patience will pay off in the end.

Found my own answer.

1st - Wick
2nd - Hill
3rd - Stover & Tapscott, in no particular pecking order.

Guess Stove & Tapscott both suited up for SJSU, but neither played.

Most of it was about Stover and how his skills are not being utilized. From what I hear Stover cannot adapt to the power game. And Tapscott leapfrogged Stover on the Chart, which drove Midwest Poke crazy. My thoughts are if he's not happy that Stover is buried on the scout team maybe he should transfer out instead of calling our coaching staff out, and spreading his hate on anyone within an ear shot. We don't need fans like that. We all knew it would take time to transition. Hell we could be 5-2 if the ball bounces our way.

Interesting...

Tapscott had a much better spring than Stover. Tapscott proved to be a power North-South runner (which probably gave 'ol Bohly a semi).

That said, I will be surprised if we don't see at least one of them get 5+ carries against the sheep. Hill, the last few games, has been disappointing.

I can only remember one good run by Hill all year. The one in the second half vs. Montana
