uagrad93, I'm sure that was a typo on his part...he was cut by a facemask or cleat...but neither would require 80 stitches and if his injury would have been that serious it would have been all over the news, nationwide.
Nope, not a typo, link found below
"Junior Chris Todd has played most of the past two games. Sophomore Kodi Burns, hampered by an 80-stitch gash on his shin that he suffered in the opener against Louisiana-Monroe, is still learning the offense."

Let's not allow this to become a sticking point in the conversation, Duder. Exact # of stitches have nothing to do with Kodi Burns and his playing time.
He is well over his injury and all the AuNecks know it as well as you do. There is turmoil on the cow fields and there has been all season.
One point of angst is the QB situation. Do the AuNecks play the slightly below run of the mill passer that is tagging along with the Snitch or do they play a scrambler who more often than not scrambles 15 yards backwards and gets hit?
Do they go with a high energy, get them excited scrambler who can't hit a barn with a Boeing 747 and really isn't that much of a scrambling QB either? Or, do they go with the golden boy of a coach who doesn't know how to coach in the big leagues of college football?
This has created racial tension. Even though both QB's pretty much suck, the white guy's feel like Kodi doesn't deserve to play and Todd is better. The black guy's feel like the only reason Kodi is not playing is because of the bigoted decision of a Snitch.
This, in turn, has created all kinds of situations on the AuNeck team. Situations that lead to 2 players being viciously attacked by large groups of their teammates.
One left the field on a stretcher and never set foot on the AuNeck campus again. The other had a leg broken and is out for a number of weeks.
Another player, the ChopBlock demon that AuNecks were so proud of and were calling a "hard fighting soldier" has quit the team due to the tension and bitterness on the team. He was in a fight every single day and finally got beat down sufficiently enough to make him quit.
God only knows what else has went down on the cow fields. Even the things we know about, such as the instances I listed above, PineBox has no clue about. LOL.
The lack of an offensive strategy or system that even resembles a lower tier SEC team is the least of the AuNeck's problems.
Here is how after practice interviews conducted by the AuNeck beat writers, otherwise known as massive suck-ups, have been going with PineBox lately:
-----------------------
AuNeck Writer: Mr. PineBox Sir, was there a fight on the field today?
PineBox: I don't know anything. I don't even know where I am at or what I am doing, how would I know about a fight on my own practice field? Next question.
AuNeck Writer: Yes sir, you are right. I am sorry for asking.
-------------------
AuNeck Writer: Did DeRon Furr leave the team, Mr. Pinebox sir?
PineBox: Who, what are you talking about? He was never on the team. He decided to leave and that is all I know. I don't know anything about anything. Was he an AuNeck Tiger?
AuNeck Writer: Sorry Mr. PineBox, that was a stupid question. I don't know why I even asked that.
-----------------------------------
So, let's get real. Trouble is upon the AuNeck Nation Family and they know it. The lack of a QB is the least of their problems.
