...Levi Richards. So, if you count them out, it will go, [sophomore Matt] Luft, Cook, Breaux, Lorditch, Richards. If we can keep those five guys healthy, we’ll be solid.”Staying healthy was jeopardized on Saturday, as Luft was carted off the field midway through the game with a dislocated, but not fractured, thumb.“It’s a painful, ugly injury but it’s one that heals pretty fast,” Murphy said.”But Saturday proved that the two freshmen can fill in, as Lorditch...
