It hurts to lose him no doubt.

Has to be discouraging for him as well, he sat out all of last year for reasons never disclosed. Played on the scout team, and this year was going to be his year, in spite of his relative lack of playing time he was counted on to be a go to WR.

But it's not like there aren't any other guys to replace him, but the problem is none of them have played very much.

The exception is Northwestern Transfer Ben Skowronek who likely will benefit from the opening that Austins injury provides for him. He has experience and was successful when healthy at Northwestern.

But Braden Lenzy gave us a taste of what his speed can do. You mentioned Tommy Tremble, he showed a lot last year and he's likely to do just what you mentioned play TE from a detached position. Brock Wright will be the inline TE. Don't forget Mike Mayer maybe the most talented TE we've had coming in as freshman.

Lawerence Key's, Javon McKinley, Joe Wilkins all have potential just have to show it.

Don't forget about Jordan Johnson a National Top 50 player as a WR from St. Louis. Freshmen WR's at Alabama and Clemson frequently shine, why not here.
