We’re about to a point where the coaching staff is going to have to get really creative to fill out the secondary each week. Redshirt freshman corner James Valdez will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL suffered against Marshall, Dave Doeren confirmed Thursday morning.
Valdez a couple dozen snaps as a reserve last weekend and, alas, that’s all he’ll get this season. Football’s cruel.
I’m not sure the secondary situation was tenable with Valdez available, much less now. Mike Stevens can only help so much, and only if he gets back to 100%.
