Celebrate a win indoors next time, okay?
That's just one of several injuries the Tigers are dealing with on both lines:
The biggest concern right now on the offensive line might be the health of starting left tackle Chris Hairston. Team spokesman Tim Bourret confirmed Hairston suffered injuries in a moped accident Saturday night. Team doctors will evaluate Hairston today and make a determination on his status, Bourret said.
The line has already lost starting right guard Barry Humphries to a possibly season-ending knee injury. Hairston's backup, redshirt freshman Landon Walker, saw his first college action Saturday.
That's just one of several injuries the Tigers are dealing with on both lines:
The line has been hit hard by injuries, though. Senior tackle Rashaad Jackson is out until at least midseason with a knee injury, and Bowden said the defense misses his quickness inside.
Junior tackle Jamie Cumbie is out for the year with a wrist injury, and junior "bandit" end Ricky Sapp missed Saturday's game with a severely bruised knee.
Six of eight players on the defensive line's two-deep are freshmen or sophomores. Seven of eight entered the season without a career start, senior Dorell Scott the lone exception.
