Middle Tenn loses 2 players due to injuries

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) — Middle Tennessee State has lost two players because of injuries, including the projected starting center.

Coach Rick Stockstill said Monday that offensive lineman Jake Padrick will miss the season after suffering a knee injury in Saturday's scrimmage. Padrick, anticipated to be the team's No. 1 center, was helped off the field halfway through the scrimmage.

Linebacker Landon Givers will have to give up football because of a back injury. He took a redshirt year in 2007 and did not participate in spring drills, hoping the injury would improve.

I could be proven wrong but from what I have read they could be in for a tough year and that would be just fine with me.

They keep losing lineman's as well - a problem them had last year as well.

Even with Dasher showing signs of improving, looks like their offense will continue to be inconsistent all year.

They lost another one today for 2 to 4 weeks.
