Kent State travels to Charlottesville VA this Saturday to take on the Cavaliers of Virginia. Per a lot of reports, Virginia has 3-4 starters who will play in the NFL shortly.
**Here is the link to the game notes for this week:

KSU will be without 6 starters this week @ Virginia: RT - Terrell Johnson, NT - Chris Fairchild, OLB - Devante Strickland, C - Jason Bitsko, RB - Trayion Durham, CB - Najee Murray. Murray & Johnson will be back next weekend @ Northern Illinois.
**Dave/anyone else,
Johnson has been out with an ankle and Murray is out with a concussion from the Ohio St game, but I haven't seen or heard an update on Chris Fairchild, Anthony Pruitt, Trayion Durham, & Devante Strickland. Are Fairchild, Pruitt, & Strickland hurt, suspended, redshirting, or getting outplayed by the younger players? Is Durham definitely redshirting or is his rehab going better than expected?
Eldin Anu has moved onto the depth chart @ WR behind Humphrey and Kris White is now the starter with Brooks/Chandler behind him. Puthoff is now the starter @ RG with Scott moving back to LG. Waugh is starting over Vance @ the LEO position. Monday is starting in place of Murray @ 1 of the 2 CBs position.
I am really interested to see if KSU is able to cover the RBs/TEs in the flat/screen passes, as OSU exploited them time after time 2 weekends ago. Also interested to see what type of pass rush they can generate. Last, Reardon needs to step it up from an accuracy perspective, as he missed a lot of easy throws the 1st 3 games.
Anybody making the trip to Charlottesville VA this weekend or DeKalb IL next weekend?
