Next game: Army at North Texas on 11/21
|
| 11/11 | 5:47am | Chip Bowden | QB | Out | Knee | Bowden is out indefinitely after suffering a significant knee injury in Army's week ten game. The reserve QB has appeared in four games this season behind starting freshman Trent Steelman. Without Bowden, the Black Knights turn to Carson Williams as Steelman's primary backup. | | 11/10 | 7:40am | Pat Mealy | FB | Questionable | Ankle | Mealy is dealing with an ankle injury that might keep him out on Nov. 14 against FCS foe VMI. Originally a reserve, Mealy earned starters work throughout the season both due to injury and performance. He has provided a nice change of pace to tailback Ian Smith in the backfield this year. |
|
Next game: Central Michigan at Ball State on 11/18
|
| 11/09 | 11:10am | Antonio Brown | WR/PR | Questionable | Toe | Brown has turf toe and his status for the Toledo game is uncertain. The All-MAC WR/returner leads the nation in punt return yardage. Depending on the severity of the injury, turf toe can take up to three or four weeks to fully recover. Brown will be evaluated again before the game. | | 11/09 | 11:04am | Josh Gordy | CB | Questionable | Leg | Gordy suffered a leg injury vs. Boston College and is questionable for the Wednesday night Toledo matchup. The senior CB ranks fourth on the team in tackles and leads the defense with three INT's. The Chippewas will see a significant reduction in coverage if Gordy is unable to play. | | 11/09 | 11:00am | Dan LeFevour | QB | Probable | Migraine | LeFevour was suffering from migraine headaches when CMU played Boston College but has no problems heading into Wednesday's game. Consider the talented dual-threat QB probable to start vs. Toledo. | | 11/09 | 10:57am | Paris Cotton | RB | Questionable | Undisclosed | Cotton sat out the last two games due to an undisclosed injury. The sophomore had been sharing tailback duties with Carl Volny and Bryan Schroeder and ranked fourth on the team in total rushing (behind QB LeFavour, WR Antonio Brown and Volny). He is questionable for the Toledo tilt. | | 11/09 | 10:54am | Tim Phillips | RB | Questionable | Ankle | Phillips left the week three Alcorn State game with an ankle injury and has not played since. Central Michigan has rotated several running backs through their offense. Junior Carl Volny and sophomore Bryan Schroeder have shared a lot of the load. Phillips is questionable for Toledo. | | 08/13 | 1:22am | Taylor Bradley | CB | Out For Year | Academics | Junior Taylor Bradley will not be with the 2009 football team because of academic ineligibility. One of two seniors, Tommy Mama or Kirkston Edwards, is the likely candidate to take over the CB spot for the projected starter. | | 08/13 | 1:17am | Josh Allison | DT | Out For Year | Unknown | Sophomore Josh Allison's career is apparently over due to an unspecified injury. The Chippewas return senior Frank Zombo, an All-MAC selection, junior Sean Murnane, senior Sam Williams and senior Larry Knight along the defensive line. Past that, HC Butch Jones said the key will be to develop depth and have younger players step up and contribute. "Our defensive line, we're probably going to (need) one or two freshman to be able to step up and give us some reps there," he said. |
|
Next game: Illinois at Cincinnati on 11/27
|
| 11/13 | 6:24am | Zach Collaros | QB | Starter | Named Starter | HC Brian Kelly has named Collaros the starting QB on Nov. 13 against West Virginia despite the return of incumbent Tony Pike from a forearm injury. According to Kelly, Pike will play in an unspecified role, however not being 100%, does not want the one-time Heisman hopeful to start. Collaros has played magnificent football while Pike was out the past three weeks and the Bearcats haven't missed a beat with him under center. | | 11/13 | 6:24am | Tony Pike | QB | Probable | Wrist | Bearcats' starting QB Pike did not play the past three weeks due to a sprained wrist. Consider him probable to be healthy on Nov. 13 against West Virginia, however if he regains his starting role or not is to be determined. Zach Collaros has started at QB performed extremely well, forcing HC Brian Kelly to remark that he has two number one QBs and that it would be foolish to take out Collaros due to how well he's been playing. | | 10/06 | 9:52am | Robby Armstrong | LB | Out For Year | Knee | Starting LB Armstrong underwent season-ending knee surgery prior to Cincinnati's week five matchup with Miami (OH) and will not play again this season. Sophomore Alex Delisi was elevated into the starting lineup to replace Armstrong. | | 10/03 | 6:19am | John Goebel | RB | Out | Hamstring | Goebel remains out indefinitely with a hamstring injury that has kept him out of action all season long. The redshirt freshman was in the mix for carries during fall camp but obviously now health is his only concern. | | 09/18 | 2:22pm | Malik James | DB | Out For Year | Left Team | Sophomore DB James has left the University of Cincinnati to return to his native California, ending his football career as a Bearcat. James played sparingly, primarily appearing on special teams in his one plus year on the team. | | 08/11 | 1:57am | Vidal Hazelton | WR | Out For Year | Eligibility | Projected starter and USC transfer Vidal Hazelton will not play in 2009 after the NCAA denied his request to become immediately eligible. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound receiver caught 50 passes for 540 yards with the Trojans in 2007. Bothered by a high ankle sprain last season, he had only six receptions. Hazelton's addition could have given Cincinnati the deepest receiving corps in the Big East. The Bearcats still return Mardy Gilyard, a first-team All-Big East performer last year, and improving sophomore D.J. Woods. |
|
Next game: UAB at East Carolina on 11/21
|
| 11/12 | 1:14pm | Giavanni Ruffin | RB | Questionable | Ankle | Reserve RB Ruffin is questionable to play on Nov. 15 against Tulsa due to a minor ankle injury. He is third in line for carries behind Dominique Lindsay and Brandon Jackson, however Ruffin does see a decent amount of work. Still, if he cannot play, expect the aformentioned pair to pick up the slack. | | 11/12 | 1:11pm | Rob Kass | TE | Out For Year | Knee | Fifth year senior TE Kass suffered a knee injury in week ten and is out for the season. As the #2 option at TE, Kass plays in big sets and when junior Kevin Gidrey needs a break. | | 11/09 | 10:45am | Josh Smith | DT | Questionable | Shoulder | Reserve DT Smith is questionable to play on Nov. 15 against Tulsa following his re-aggravation of a shoulder injury in week ten. Smith provides depth on the interior line when healthy. | | 11/09 | 10:43am | Jamar Bryant | WR | Questionable | Shoulder | Bryant did not play the past two weeks due to a shoulder injury that has him listed as questionable to return on Nov. 15 against Tulsa. Bryant has caught 21 balls for 200 yards and two TDs on the season and is one of ECU's most consistent receivers, having made a catch in 25 straight games. | | 11/09 | 10:39am | Dekota Marshall | FS | Out For Year | Leg | Reserve safety Marshall is done for the season after breaking his right leg in week ten. He saw time in nickel and dime packages as the #2 at free safety. | | 10/21 | 11:23am | Matt Thompson | LB | Out For Year | Elbow | Sophomore LB Thompson suffered an elbow injury in week seven that will likely require surgery and keep him out for the year. Thompson had been seeing plenty of action, compiling 20 tackles on the season. | | 10/14 | 1:30pm | Jonathan Williams | RB | Out | Knee | Reserve RB Williams is out indefinitely after an MRI revealed knee damage thanks to an injury suffered in week six against SMU. Williams was the fourth option in the running game and likely third stringer Giavanni Ruffin will pick up any slack. | | 09/27 | 10:20am | Antonio Allison | DT | Out | Foot | Allison is out indefinitely after suffering a broken foot in week three against UNC. The sophomore was entrenched as a starter on the defensive line before the injury, which requires surgery. ECU has a number of options to replace Allison, including shifting to more 3-4 defense as opposed to 4-3. They do have decent depth on the defensive line however. | | 09/23 | 4:02pm | JR Rogers | RB | Out | Knee | Rogers is out indefinitely with a knee injury. The senior does not contribute as a running back, having not taken a carry this season, however he does see action as a kick and punt returner when healthy. | | 08/16 | 11:43pm | Allen Crowder | DE | Out For Year | Suspension | RS freshman Allen Crowder has been handed a season-long suspension for an undisclosed violation. Crowder was listed as a No. 2 defensive end behind starting seniors Scotty Robinson and CJ Wilson. | | 08/16 | 11:40pm | DeAndre Jones | DB | Out For Year | Left Team | Junior DeAndre Jones has decided to transfer to another school. He has seen very limited action in the Pirates' secondary and was buried on the 2009 depth chart. | | 08/16 | 11:39pm | DJ McFadden | WR | Out For Year | Left Team | Sophomore receiver DJ McFadden has decided to transfer to another school. He failed to develop a regular role at wide receiver after being recruited as a quarterback. | | 08/16 | 11:37pm | Lorenzo Osborne | LB | Out For Year | Left Team | Junior Lorenzo Osborne has decided to transfer to another school after two active seasons when he accumulated 23 tackles. He was redshirted last year. | | 08/16 | 11:34pm | Julian Carter | S | Out For Year | Left Team | Sophomore safety Julian Carter has decided to transfer to another school to finish out his collegiate career. He was being groomed to take on a much greater role with the Pirates but opted to leave anyway. |
|
Next game: Maryland at Florida State on 11/21
|
| 11/13 | 9:32am | Justin Mincey | DT | Out | Knee | Senior DT Justin Mincey will miss the Wake Forest game to recover from a lingering knee injury. Mincey, who was projected to start at the beginning of the season, has missed more than half the season to date due to injury. | | 11/13 | 9:22am | Richard Goodman | WR | Questionable | Groin | Senior WR Richard Goodman is questionable for the Wake Forest game with a groin injury. Goodman, a reserve WR, has already missed time this year due to injury. | | 11/13 | 9:15am | Dionte Allen | CB | Questionable | Thumb | Sophomore CB Dionte Allen missed the UNC, NC State, and Clemson games with a thumb injury and is questionable for Wake Forest. With the injuries to Allen and freshman reserve Xavier Rhodes, the CB rotation for FSU is wearing thin. | | 11/10 | 8:57am | EJ Manuel | QB | Starter | N/A | Redshirt freshman QB EJ Manuel will start at QB for the remainder of the 2009 season. Manuel entered the FSU program after a highly successful prep career in Virginia. So far, he has only attempted two passes in his college career. | | 11/10 | 8:47am | Christian Ponder | QB | Out For Year | Shoulder | Junior QB Christian Ponder will miss the rest of the 2009 season with a Grade 3 separation of his throwing shoulder he suffered against Clemson. He left the game with the injury and did not return (was replaced by redshirt freshman EJ Manuel). Ponder has emerged as the leader for the Seminoles and is considered one of the top QBs in the country due to his improving accuracy and ability to make plays with his feet. The highly-touted Manuel will finish the season as the No. 1 QB. | | 11/08 | 9:31am | Xavier Rhodes | CB | Out | Thumb | True freshman CB Xavier Rhodes missed three games with a thumb injury and is out indefinitely. Rhodes is a reserve DB for the Seminoles. Rhodes' injury leaves the CB rotation thin. | | 11/06 | 10:59am | Garrett Faircloth | T | Out | Hip | True freshman LT Garrett Faircloth did not play against NC State due to a hip injury and is out indefinitely. Faircloth is a reserve OT for the Seminoles. | | 10/30 | 10:23pm | Vince Williams | LB | Out | Back | Sophomore MLB Vince Williams has not played this season and is out indefinitely with a back injury. Williams is listed as the No. 2 MLB on the Seminoles depth chart. His injury opens the door for more playing time for Rechardo Wright. | | 10/20 | 7:58am | Maurice Harris | LB | Out For Year | Neck | Sophomore LB Maurice Harris will miss the rest of the 2009 season with a neck injury (cervical burner) he suffered during the GT game. Harris is a reserve WLB who has made one start this season for the Seminoles. In six games played in 2009, Harris made 15 tackles. With Vince Williams yet to play this season, Harris' injury hurts FSU's depth at LB. | | 10/20 | 7:54am | Demonte McAllister | DT | Out For Year | Ankle/Redshirt | True freshman DT Demonte McAllister has missed the first five games of the season with an ankle injury (out indefinitely). With fellow tackles Mincey close to returning and McCray returning, it is unlikely that McAllister will play the rest of the season. McAllister remains eligible for a redshirt. | | 10/19 | 9:15am | Caz Piurowski | TE | Out For Year | Torn ACL | Senior TE Caz Piurowski will miss the rest of the 2009 season with a torn ACL and MCL. Piurowski was considered to be a great blocker (injured while blocking during a TD run) and viable receiving option (13 catches for 182 yards and 2 TDs in 2009) for the Seminoles. Beau Reliford and Ja'Barris Little will fill in for Piurowski. | | 10/11 | 11:40am | Aaron Gresham | LB | Out | Knee | Sophomore LB Aaron Gresham is out indefinitely. The No. 3 MLB on the depth chart is suffering from an injured knee. His absence, along with the anticipated absence of No. 2 MLB Vince Williams, leaves the Seminoles thin at MLB. | | 10/11 | 11:39am | John Prior | T | Out | Knee | True freshman OT John Prior is out indefinitely with a knee injury. Prior is a reserve OL for the Seminoles in his true freshman season, but it appears he will receive a redshirt. | | 10/02 | 11:26am | Antwane Greenlee | T | Out | Knee | Redshirt sophomore RT Antwane Greenlee suffered a Grade 3 sprain of his MCL. A timetable has not been set with regard to Greenlee's return. Greenlee was involved in a tight battle with sophomore Zebrie Sanders (2008 starter) and redshirt freshman Rhonnie Sanderson for the starting right tackle position. | | 08/10 | 5:09pm | Marcus Sims | FB | Out For Year | Transfer | Senior fullback Marcus Sims has transferred to N. Alabama. He started eight games in his three-year Seminole career. |
|

|
| 11/10 | 12:17pm | Andrew Jackson | OL | Questionable | Knee | Jackson suffered a knee injury in week 10 and is questionable for the upcoming game at Nevada.

White, who entered the program as a QB, is a reserve WR for the Ragin' Cajuns. | | 11/14 | 10:24am | Brad Bustle | G | Probable | Shoulder | Senior LG Brad Bustle is probable for Middle Tennessee despite a shoulder injury. Bustle, a first team All-SBC honoree last season, is the son of head coach Rickey Bustle. | | 11/14 | 9:57am | Richie Falgout | WR | Probable | Ankle | Junior WR Richie Falgout is probable for the Middle Tennessee State game despite a lingering ankle injury.

Fleming is a starting LB for the Ragin' Cajuns this season. | | 11/12 | 9:43am | Daylon McCoy | LB | Questionable | Knee | Junior LB Daylon McCoy is questionable for Middle Tennessee State with an unspecified knee injury.

The reserve defensive lineman missed the Ark state game with a knee injury. | | 11/12 | 9:34am | Richard Brooks | LB | Probable | Forearm | Sophomore LB Richard Brooks did not play in the FIU or Ark St games due to a forearm injury and is upgraded to probable for Middle Tennessee State. Brooks is the primary back-up to senior Antwyne Zanders. | | 11/12 | 9:33am | Brandon Williams | TE | Out | Foot | Redshirt freshman TE Brandon Williams missed the Arkansas State game with a foot injury and is ruled out for Middle Tennessee State. Williams is a reserve TE for the Ragin' Cajuns. His absence depletes depth at the TE position. | | 11/12 | 9:32am | Brad McGuire | QB | Probable | Foot | Sophomore QB Brad McGuire injured his foot during the FAU game and did not return. After missing the FIU and Ark St games, McGuire is upgraded to probable for Middle Tennessee State. Redshirt freshman Blaine Gautier filled in as the No. 2 QB in McGuire's absence. McGuire had been sharing time at QB with fellow sophomore Chris Masson since the Nebraska game. | | 11/12 | 9:31am | Dusty Mack | TE | Doubtful | Shoulder | Senior TE Dusty Mack missed the FIU and Ark St games with a shoulder injury and is downgraded to doubtful for Middle Tennessee State. Mack is listed as the No. 4 TE on the depth chart. | | 11/10 | 9:43am | Ladarius Green | TE | Questionable | Neck | Sophomore TE Ladarius Green was carted off the field with his neck in a brace against FAU and did not return. He missed the FIU game, played sparingly against Ark St, and is questionable for Middle Tennessee State.

He is out for the rest of the season with the injury and will petition to the NCAA for another year of eligibility. Sails is ULL's starting RB and the team's leading rusher. | | 08/25 | 12:37am | Justin Anderson | DE | Out | Shoulder | Reserve DE Justin Anderson has a shoulder injury and is out indefinitely after not being cleared medically. | | 08/25 | 12:36am | Nate Douglas | DE | Out For Year | Head | Backup DE Nate Douglas is out for the season with a head injury.

|
Next game: Louisiana Monroe at Louisiana Lafayette on 11/21
|
| 11/10 | 9:50am | Darius Prelow | S | Doubtful | Possible suspension | Sophomore S Darius Prelow could face a one-game suspension for being ejected from the North Texas game.

Next game: LSU at Mississippi on 11/21
|
| 11/14 | 9:13am | Jarrett Lee | QB | Starter | N/A | Sophomore QB Jarrett Lee has been named the starter for the La Tech game. Lee made eight starts in 2008 before losing his job to this year's starter, Jordan Jefferson. Lee led the Tigers with 14 TD passes and 16 INTs last season. | | 11/14 | 9:11am | Jordan Jefferson | QB | Probable | Ankle | Sophomore QB Jordan Jefferson injured his ankle against Alabama and did not return. Head coach Les Miles says that Jefferson will play against the Bulldogs but will not start (Jarrett Lee will be the starter). Jefferson is in his first full season as a starting QB for the Tigers, having only made two starts (including Chick-Fil-A Bowl) in 2008. Expectt to see Russell Shepard, last year's No. 1 QB recruit, in this game whether or not Jefferson plays. | | 11/12 | 9:28am | T Bob Hebert | C | Probable | Knee | Sophomore C T-Bob Hebert injured his knee during the Alabama game. He is upgraded to probable for Louisiana Tech. Hebert is the starting center for the Tigers. | | 11/12 | 9:27am | Jai Eugene | CB | Probable | Undisclosed | Junior CB Jai Eugene did not play against Alabama because of a "tweak", according to head coach Les Miles.

Eugene is the No. 3 safety on the depth chart. | | 11/11 | 9:03am | Richard Dickson | TE | Questionable | Knee | Senior TE Richard Dickson is expected to return to practice this week after sitting out last week against Alabama with a knee injury. He is questionable for Louisiana Tech. Dickson is the starting TE for the Tigers and a threat in the passing game. | | 11/11 | 9:01am | Patrick Peterson | CB | Probable | Leg | Sophomore CB Patrick Peterson has been shaken up by leg cramps dating back to the Alabama game, but they are not believed to be serious. He is probable for Louisiana Tech. Peterson is a starting CB for the Tigers. | | 11/09 | 11:54am | Al Woods | DT | Questionable | Undisclosed | Senior DT Al Woods had to be helped off the field during the Alabama game and did not return. He is questionable for Louisiana Tech. Woods is a starting DT for the Tigers. | | 11/09 | 11:26am | Charles Scott | RB | Out For Year | Clavicle | Senior RB Charles Scott will miss the rest of the regular season with a broken clavicle he sustained against Alabama. It is not yet known whether Scott could return in time for a bowl game, but that proposition could be in question depending on Scott's post-LSU football future. Scott is ranked sixth all-time in rushing yards at LSU and led the conference in rushing in 2008. | | 11/01 | 10:42am | Akiem Hicks | DT | Out | Undisclosed | Junior DT Akiem Hicks has missed four straight games and is out indefinitely. Hicks was supposed to be a major contributor for the Tigers this season as a defensive lineman, but injuries and illness has sidelined him for much of the season (has only played in one game in 2009). Hicks is a JUCO transfer participating in his first season with the Bayou Bengals. | | 09/14 | 11:17am | Richard Murphy | RB | Out For Year | Knee | Junior RB Richard Murphy will likely miss the rest of the 2009 season with a serious knee injury. The reserve RB is listed as the No. 3 RB on the depth chart behind All-SEC performer Charles Scott and speedster Keiland Williams. Says head coach Les Miles: "I'm saddened that Richard Murphy will probably not make the next game and maybe the next game. It's sad to have a quality, young back get hurt, but those things happen." | | 09/12 | 6:50am | Tim Molton | WR | Out For Year | Left team | Redshirt freshman WR Tim Molton left the LSU program for unspecified reasons. Sources believe that Molton was disappointed with his decline on the depth chart after sustaining two knee injuries.

Corley's father said his son plans to apply for a hardship waiver from the NCAA to allow him to play this year. Corley was listed as a No.2 DE on the preseason depth chart Outside of 2008 1st TM SEC stud Rahim Alem the Tigers do not have any DE's with starting experience on the roster. | | 08/09 | 5:21pm | Shomari Clemons | LB | Out For Year | Left Team | Sophomore LB Clemons left the football program this past spring saying he felt the stigma of a 2008 arrest forever clouded his reputation at the school. He was arrested on misdemeanor charges of shoving a police officer and disturbing the peace. "I needed to go somewhere and get a fresh start, just get away from there," he said. Clemons was No. 2 at MLB behind senior Jacob Cutrera. That job will now most likely be filled by true freshman Kevin Minter or redshirt freshman Kyle Prater. |

Next game: Duke at Miami (FL) on 11/21
|
| 11/14 | 9:29am | DeMarcus Van Dyke | CB | Probable | Lower extremity | Junior CB DeMarcus Van Dyke is probable for the North Carolina game despite a lower extremity injury.

He is upgraded to probable for North Carolina. Moncur has missed two games earlier this season with a groin injury. | | 11/12 | 10:16pm | Sean Spence | LB | Out | Ankle | Sophomore LB Sean Spence missed the Wake Forest and Virginia games with a left ankle injury he sustained during the Clemson game. He is ruled out for North Carolina. Spence, the 2008 ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year, is one of Miami's key defensive players. In his absence (which is compounded due to the absence of Jordan Futch), fellow sophomore Ramon Buchanan will have to step up. | | 11/08 | 9:58am | Aravious Armstrong | S | Out | Knee | True freshman FS Aravious "Ray Ray" Armstrong is out indefinitely with an unspecified knee injury. Armstrong had worked his way into a starting position before sustaining the injury against Clemson. Senior Randy Phillips could start at FS against the Cavaliers if Armstrong plays. | | 11/08 | 9:57am | JoJo Nicolas | S | Out | Upper extremity | Junior SS JoJo Nicolas missed the Clemson, Wake Forest, and Virginia games with an upper extremity injury and is out indefinitely. The No. 2 SS has missed a few games this season already due to illness/injury. | | 11/01 | 9:54am | Patrick Hill | FB | Out | Lower extremity | Senior FB Patrick Hill missed five games with a lower extremity injury and is out indefinitely. Hill, the No. 1 FB on the depth chart, is one of the top blockers on the team. | | 10/30 | 10:36am | Gavin Hardin | DE | Out For Year | Upper extremity | Redshirt freshman DE Gavin Hardin will miss the 2009 season with an upper extremity injury. Hardin was the 2008 scout team DPOY.

HC Randy Shannon, who confirmed Ojomo had surgery but would not disclose the injury, reiterated after practice that the sophomore was hurt "horsing around in the locker room." Shannon said Ojomo, who started three games last year and is one of the bright young stars at defensive end, is out indefinitely. Shannon repeated that Ojomo was not suspended for any reason. | | 10/16 | 12:28pm | Marcus Forston | DT | Out For Year | Lower extremity | Sophomore DT Marcus Forston missed the FAMU game and is out indefinitely. Forston missed the VT game (Sept 26) with a lower extremity (ankle) injury but returned for the Oklahoma game. There is a good chance that he will redshirt this season according to head coach Randy Shannon. Forston was considered the top defensive lineman on the Canes roster and one of the top DLs in the ACC entering the 2009 season, but he has struggled with injuries this season and has yet to record a tackle. | | 10/13 | 11:27am | Ryan Hill | CB | Out For Year | Upper extremity | Senior CB Ryan Hill missed the FAMU game with a shoulder injury and is likely out for the season. The senior reserve defensive back made five starts (in 13 total games) at CB last season, making 34 tackles. Hill has already missed one game this season (FSU) with a shoulder injury and currently qualifies for a medical redshirt (has only played in three games). | | 10/13 | 11:25am | Dyron Dye | DE | Out For Year | Lower extremity | True freshman DE Dyron Dye missed the Oklahoma and FAMU games with a lower extremity injury. He is likely out for the season according to head coach Randy Shannon. Dye is a reserve DE for the Hurricanes in 2009. His injury affects Miami's depth at the position, with Andrew Smith battling back from an injury and Eric Moncur also trying to fight back from a preseason injury. | | 10/13 | 11:04am | Jordan Futch | LB | Out For Year | Knee | Sophomore LB Jordan Futch will miss the rest of the season with a severe knee injury. Futch had started two games for the Hurricanes and was an important performer on special teams. Fellow sophomore Sean Spence will continue to start in place of Futch. | | 10/05 | 11:36pm | Shayon Green | LB | Out For Year | Torn ACL | True freshman LB Shayon Green will miss the 2009 season with a torn ACL. Green was expected to provide depth at the MLB position this season. |
