Decimated is another word where common usage has drifted from the meaning enough that I wouldn't be surprised if there was talk of updating the definition.
...just looked it up. It has been updated. It used to mean "having lost one tenth."
we ended the Rutgers game down 11 starters (if you include Finley who was the starter after Conklin).
Jack Allen C, ankle injury, looked bad, questionable at best
Jack Conklin LT, knee injury, hasn't played since CMU
Dennis Finley LT, broken leg, out for the year
RJ Williamson SS, Biceps injury, out until the bowl game
Ed Davis OLB, ACL, out for the year
Mylan Hicks CB, left in the 2nd quarter, possible concussion
Josiah Price TE, ankle, hasn't played since CMU
Vayante Copeland CB, fractured vertebrae, out for the year
Lawrence Thomas DE, shoulder injury, left in the 3rd quarter, did not return
Jake Hartbarger Punter, we had our backup QB punt late in the game
Madre London RB, ankle or foot injury, carted to the locker room, did not look good
I'd expect Conklin to try to play, Price too. who knows how effective they can be? we have no chance of moving the ball on UM with an OL that's duct taped together. the London injury doesn't really impact us that much, just more carries for scott, we have depth there.
