I was surprised Dinard wasn't the guy to step in. He may have played some, but it was primarily Nate Williams (#57) in the middle after Arrington went down. Looks like Williams will start this week.

Losing Arrington probably isn't nearly as bad for the overall defensive prospects as losing Roach was a couple years ago, because the rest of the defense is much better. But, it definitely hurts. 

And it's a shame because for Arrington. He seemed to be playing really well, and I think he's in his last year of eligibility.
