re: With Nick Fitzgerald not playing Saturday, how much does that hurt us week 2 vs KSU?

Yeah but my only worry is the long period since he last played since his broken foot. I thought it would be good just to get back in a game before K-State, run a little, take a hit and get back the feel of the game while gaining confidence in his old injury. Anyone who has played ball knows that a former injury is mental and you want a series or two under your belt to gain confidence.

I don't think we can wait several series vs K-State for him to get confidence. That could make for a close game and Snyder is one helluva coach. Guess we will see.
