Colorado freshman guard Max Tuioti-Mariner suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in non-contact drills in Tuesday’s practice and will miss the remainder of the season. Tuioti-Mariner played in each of the first three games this season and recorded 16.5 knockdown blocks, the third most on the team.
Colorado seems to be suffering from lack of depth according to reports in the Colorado area papers. There are 80 scholarship players on the current roster while the NCAA allows 85. Eleven of those scholarships are unable to help the program on game days. Four players have suffered season-ending injuries, six players are academically ineligible and one player is suspended indefinitely. That leaves 69 scholarship players and 12 of them are slated to redshirt this fall.
The Buff football players are attempting to deal with hydration for the upcoming game. Temperatures in Jacksonville are expected to be in the high 80s or low 90s for the game on Saturday. Players have been seen walking around campus carrying gallon jugs of green Gatorade.
