Wait, their backup is out too? The RS FR? Jeez, they are totally screwed against our DL if their 3rd string guy is playing.

So Troy Everett was their starting center that was injured in spring and may be back this week but hasn't played a snap this season. Branson Hickman took his spot but had a high ankle sprain game 1 and is questionable. Hatchett then took over center but tore his bicep and is out for the season.
Joshua Bates, a freshmen, has been playing center for them the last 2 games. I'm not sure this is the game you want somebody coming back from injury that hasn't had a game-time snap with your QB, starting at center.
