While I agree OU will be good with or without AK, I think it will hurt them for him not to play. The guy is athletic and big. I honestly think he had a chance to start but he was always going to rotate with Lattin. Him being injured presents a great opportunity for McNeace.
I'm OK if he comes back to practice over the next month. I was also one of the ones who voted "Have a major impact on the team this year only if he is out all year". JMHO
