As mentioned, Fillinger is out for the year. This will hurt the run defense, and they’ll now be down to a four man rotation.

Whittingham expects about 8 underclassmen to be announced for senior day. Those underclassmen are all welcome back if they choose.

They’re extremely excited about Nate Johnson’s future and he made the most of his role on Saturday.

Glover’s role will continue to expand, as he’s really become a playmaker. Whittingham wouldn’t go into the injury situation with the RBs.

He acknowledged that they’ve had some of their best performances against Dtanford, but wouldn’t say any rhyme or reason to it.

Whittingham was asked about the possible inclusion of SDSU to the Pac. He said it would be a plus for their SoCal recruiting.

The young guys have really benefited from reps due to injuries from others. Whittingham highlighted Jackson, Glover, and Yassmin. He also singled out Sione Vaki who has had an increased role with Bishop focusing more currently on nickelback.

They’re hopeful to have Kincaid back this coming week. (Alex take: I just don’t see that happening until at least Oregon)

They’ve had the package for Nate Johnson waiting and ready. It just made sense against Arizona.

They have a redshirt list that they breakdown paying attention to who is getting close to four games, so they don’t burn it or they weigh the option of them losing the year.
