Ouch. This is a big blow to an inexperienced defensive line. Ritzman was our best defensive lineman. I hope touted freshman Johnathan Mapu can step in and fill the spot. He was a top 5 prospect in the country. Speaking of prospects UT may land 2 of the top 5 in the country by the end of the yr. Rashad Baker has been taking snaps at WR and may see time on both sides of the ball. We need a 2nd WR to step up and take pressure off Mr. Washington. No surprise but C.J. Leak has beat out freshman Johnathan Banks for the backup QB position.
