We haven't played many guys there, so we are pretty thin with experience. Could be a big week for some guys who haven't got much PT so far.

Why would Rhule announce this on Thursday and give UCLA two days notice about how short we are at CB? Obviously the Bruins could see MH limp off the field last Saturday, but no reason in 2024 to announce injuries until you have to hand in your list 2 hrs before the game.

And we would also complain if he didn't answer the question.

Plus, if we are being honest, most teams were probably planning to go after Hartzog in the passing game anyway.

Yep. Hartzog was already a target of opposing OCs.

Hartzog has played very well the last few games. I expect Gifford to come on strong like Hartzog did in the Ohio State game.

If you are changing your entire offensive game plan, based off a pretty average CB being out for the game...you are making a huge mistake.

Charles got pressed into duty against a very good WR group last week and played a bunch against Indiana. And the other three are not wanting in terms of game experience. NU will be fine.

I heard Hartzog was in concussion protocol. Is that not the case?

We've been playing very few guys in the defensive backfield. I have a feeling there are a few backups who are ready to prove themselves but they haven't yet gotten the opportunity.

They'll get their chance next year. Defensive backfield is generally not a position you want to sub out experience for youth.

Against OSU he gave them a huge first down when we had them stopped and also got torched deep. But he also had an INT. So I guess on balance he was OK at least in that game.

I’m sure UCLA has a bunch of injuries, too.

Good ball skills but small and a half step slow.

I assume they’re planning to redshirt Blye Hill, but I don’t think he has played much if at all. Maybe he can help without burning year of eligibility. Wasn’t he expected to start before his injury?

It’s not that big of a deal. If you wanted to hide the fact that your QB was out I can see that.

This sucks. We need all hands on deck for this one. Most important game of the Rhule era. This one is a must win.

Agree that this is a very important game for Rhule and the team, and its disappointing that this game has morphed from what seemed like a check the box win in the pre and early season to such a high-stakes one. Its also a great opportunity for the team to take a step forward. We are just so used to seeing the team fail in these must-win moments - the win against CU and another one here would be big despite some of the other let downs this season.
