If Nyzier Fourqurean can't play this year at all, there may be a bit of a cause for alarm, as more and more young players will have to be tossed into the fire. Luke Fickell, after fall camp, said exactly this: that the freshmen corners will have to be ready to go because they will play this year.
He wouldn't commit to how much or where they will play, but the expectation is that redshirt and even true freshmen corners will be taking snaps during the season, which is a bit of a good news, bad news situation.
