Fresno State inside linebacker Michael Lazarus will not play in the season opener against Abilene Christian - he was suspended last week due to a violation team rules and athletic department policy.
But after he missed more than two weeks in fall camp due to a strained groin and out of the depth chart this week, where do the Bulldogs go with Lazarus upon his return?
The depth inside is well set with senior Kyrie Wilson and freshman Nela Otukolo at the Mike, and junior Jeff Camilli and third-year sophomore Robert Stanley at the Will, with redshirt freshman walk-on George Helmuth a strong fifth inside backer.
