In this story:


The edge rushing duo of Ruben Bain Jr. and Akheem Mesidor has dominated offensive lines all season long, but now, one key part of the duo might be out for the Stanford game.

Mesidor was spotted on Monday with a boot on his right ankle after suffering an injury in Friday night's 24-21 loss to Louisville. Now he is questionable against Stanford.

Head coach Mario Cristobal expressed concern about his star player's injury during his Monday press conference, but also reassured the media that the player would be fine in the long term.

"Obviously, it was tough for him to finish the game," Cristobal said. "He was a little bit banged up, but he seems to be on track to be healing."

Another player that has been listed out is Tight end Jack Nickel, the older brother of freshman quarterback Luke Nickel.

Mesidor has been so productive that others have had to take a back foot, but not this week. Sophomore Armondo Blount and Marquise Lightfoot have been waiting for an oppurtinity like this to come. In the limited snaps they have had this season, they have been overly productive.

Each has consistently popped out on tape with their time on the field, especially Lightfoot. Lightfoot should get most of the snaps against the Cardinal and explode on the scene tonight.
