Tom O’Brien discussed injuries today in his press conference.
So, NC State will enter Saturday’s game without the services of our best tight end and his back-up; our starting running back and his back-up; our best defensive tackle; our best wide receiver; our most experienced wide receiver; our most experienced offensive linemen; and our two starting safeties.
For the record, the following is our current list of absentees:
Alan-Michael Cash, DT (starter)
Anthony Hill, TE (starter)
Matt Kushner, TE (#2 on depth chart)
Donald Bowens, WR (starter)
Clem Johnson, S (starter)
Javon Walker, S (starter)
Curtis Crouch, OG (co-starter)
Geron James, WR (co-starter)
Jamelle Eugene, RB (co-starter)
Toney Baker, RB (co-starter)
