Golden Nuggets: Updates on injuries for the Ohio State game

We hoped we could get by against Portland State despite missing a key contributor in each tier of defense. However, it's looking like we might have the same problem against a much more intimidating foe in the form of the The Ohio State Buckeyes.

Per @RGBearTerritory and @CalRivals, Scarlett out for OSU, McCain TBD.

Dykes in presser said doesn't expect any of injured defensive starters back for Ohio St. DE McCain possibility. No Scarlett, Jalil, Forbes.

Hunter Hewitt has a full injury report covering these guys as well as other key contributors like linebacker Michael Barton and wide receiver Chris Harper.

And if you're going to be at the big upcoming game, you better be on your best behavior--we're gonna have a lot of important guests.

Dykes said 150 recruits will be at the Ohio State game. Yes, 150! Lots of unofficial visits and Class of 2015 guys
