Between the player suspensions/police investigation and this latest news about Brandon Lingen, the bye week is certainly off to a inauspicious start:
Tight end Brandon Lingen broke his clavicle after hitting the turf hard in third quarter. He will have a plate inserted during surgery Monday, and he will miss the next four to five weeks, coach Tracy Claeys said Sunday.
At a minimum this means Lingen should miss Colorado State, Penn State, and Iowa. It’s also possible (I’d argue likely) that he’ll miss @Maryland. If things proceed more slowly than anticipated then Rutgers and possibly @Illinois would be at risk.
