True freshman wide receiver Chris Conley will continue to start in place of injured wide receiver Rantavious Wooten, who went down against Ole Miss three weeks ago. With the absence of fellow wideout Malcom Mitchell as well, Conley's presence - he had a key 17-yard reception in the second half to extend a drive against Tennessee last week - has been a huge relief for quarterback Aaron Murray. Here's the complete list of injured Bulldogs:
- Trinton Sturdivant, T: Out For Season (knee)
- Brandon Burrows, LB: Out For Season (shoulder)
- Chris Sanders, CB: Out For Season (shoulder)
- Cornelius Washington, LB: Out Indefinitely (suspension)
- Alec Ogletree, LB: Out Indefinitely (foot)
- Malcolm Mitchell, WR: Out Week 7 (hamstring)
- Rantavious Wooten, WR: Doubtful Week 7 (knee)
Running back and return specialist Warren Norman, Vandy' s leading rusher a year ago, has been sidelined with various injuries through the season, enough for head James Franklin to redshirt Norman for the remainder of the year and preserve the junior's two remaining years of eligibility. Here's the rest of the injured Commodores:
- Tristan Strong, RB: Out For Season (knee)
- John Cole, WR: Doubtful Week 7 (leg)
- Warren Norman, RB: Questionable Week 7 (knee)
