Just learned today that WR Joe Price and QB Dustin Thomas are most likely out for the season after getting hurt in the Towson game Saturday.

Redshirt Freshmen QB Thomas separated his shoulder and is expected to miss a least 6-8 weeks. #2 on the depth chart is true freshmen Chris Polony, but in last weeks game Talley opted for walk on senior Christian Culicerto to preserve Polony's ability to redshirt. Culicerto spent all of last season as Chris Whitney's back up only seeing garbage minutes. Culicerto was competent on Saturday, leading the Cats to 10 points and throwing for 1 TD in relief. Nova also has true freshmen John Robertson, who saw action against Temple in the Wildcat formation. As of right now Talley has pulled the redshirt off Polony and hes the projected started for the Home Opener against Monmouth.

Sophomore WR Joe Price suffered a concussion, 2 broken ribs, a collapsed lung, and a sprained ankle. Price joins #1 receiver Norman White on the sidelines, as the previously sound receiving core is reduced to Dorian Wells and undersized, Wes Welker-esque, slot receiver Mikey Reynolds.

Combine that with the preseason loss of OL Chidozie Ekweozor, the Nova offense keeps getting younger and losing depth fast. This has the makings for a long year.
