The following players are out for Saturday's game against Iowa, per NU:
WR Austin Carr - OUT
OL Adam DePietro - OUT
DB MatthewHarris - OUT
WR Flynn Nagel - OUT
DB Kyle Queiro – OUT
LB TommyVitale – OUT FOR SEASON
How important are they?
Badgers need you to beat them.
Harris out is the biggest concern in my book. Especially with Quiero already out. We were very special with Harris and Van Hoose manning the corners. Is Watkins at the same level or a drop off to the levels that we were more used to over the years? The Ioa QB is probably the best one we have faced since Hogan - though he is hurt. Need the DL to get to him big time.
Mike +1 Watkins has been a beast on special teams just like Godwin was!Watkins has seen an ton of action, and he has looked excellent, imo.
Watkins and McShepard would be the starting corners on most past NU teams. Gonna miss Matt but the injuries to 2 of our WRs are going to hurt us more.
WR Austin Carr - OUT Starting Receiver, but I don't see him as that much better than half a dozen WRs on the team that really don't separate themselves from eachother or defendersHow important are they?
Badgers need you to beat them.
I hope not, we've already burned 6 games. Dickerson has to come alive this game. They will focus on Jones and Vitale. I think Roberts make get that big gainer this game.Could we see Cam Green or Charlie Fessler burn their shirt(s) at WR?
I agree. Either that or he may have to burn a shirt. We have had a week of practice so it will be interesting to see how this is addressed. Carr was showing promise and I think he is a bigger loss than some on here are suggesting.Maybe this is the week they need to get people like Vault, Roberts and Anderson out in the slot. With the defensive orientation of this team, I'm not sure losing the WR hurts us more than losing the DBs.
