per Chip:
Imagine this scenario: A team’s starting quarterback tests positive Friday. He’s automatically unavailable for three games.
Or this scenario: A team loses six starters in one week.
Or this: A team loses its head coach or one of its coordinators for a game or two.
Those are not far-fetched scenarios. Virginia Tech played Duke without 21 players and several coaches in Week 2. Some of those absences were injury-related, but many of them presumably had tested positive. Purdue coach Jeff Brohm won’t be on the sideline for his team’s opener against Iowa after testing positive.
“Is it a little bit nerve-wracking at times knowing who’s going to play and who’s not — who you give the reps to and then all of sudden you find out on Thursday or Friday that they can’t play for three weeks — yeah that can be a little bit nerve-wracking,” Fleck said. “But you respond.”
