Yeah, he went down around the line of scrimmage on the punt coverage team. They worked on his knee for quite a while and we walked off (with help) very gingerly. He spent the whole rest of the game sitting on one of the training tables. 

He seems like one of the few Cat receivers with enough speed to stretch defenses down the field, so I hope he is able to get back out there soon. 

It's been a weird year for the offense so far. I think the biggest issue is that the O-line just isn't opening up many big running holes, and the pass protection against Ohio was pretty poor. 

But none of the receivers have been overly impressive this year. They've dropped some of CJ's better throws in key situations, and seemed to have trouble getting open against Ohio. Meanwhile, CJ certainly hasn't been as sharp as he was at times the past couple of years. 

I get the feeling Ohio's defense is pretty good, but I just have no feel yet for how the Cats offense is going to fare against the Big 10. They clearly need to play better. Really hope Sutton can come back soon.
