When you start writing losses off to keep your best player healthy, it’s over.
Well, I wouldn't say we are writing it off. We're not going to voluntarily roll over and take an L up the shoot. The rest of the guys who are on scholarship on an SEC team will still try very hard to win. Our defense should be okay. We could try to run JJ Hill. Hopefully the QB would be serviceable enough to keep their defense honest. There are ways we could win this game without K1 and Fluff. It won't be easy - most teams in the country would suffer if their Heisman-watchlist QB and RB1 go down.
What we CANNOT do is put Kamario at risk of getting more seriously injured. Not good for us the rest of this season, not good for K1 permanently, and not a good look for us with other incoming players. It's like knowing your ace pitcher is hurt but still sending him out there until his elbow falls off. Other pitchers might think twice about coming here.
Some would say it's a smart play to sit him, IF he's hurt as bad as people think. We will see I guess.
