It's pretty rough to deal with. But I've still got to be a leader, a motivator. I'm still coming to practice every day. We've still got to win games, and I want to help any way I can. I just can't do it in the physical way.

The good thing about our schedule, you don't want to say the 'classics' don't matter, but we can still have a successful season if we do well in the OVC.
