Coming off of a knee injury is never an easy thing, and the Tigers could have really used Cody Reynolds defensively this year. If he can stay focus, rehab hard, and work hard in the weight room will help to fill Subby's shoes on defense. Between, Bailey (who replaced Reynolds at LB last season) and Reynolds, they should be able to pick up their play and fill Subby's void. Like I said, a knee injury is never an easy thing to overcome, and I don't think Reynolds will be the same offensively. Therefore, the void left by Subby offensively may be a little harder to fill. Knee injuries seem to effect offense backs a little more than any other position on the field. Athletically, Pugh will be a little harder to replace.

Actually I think it will be the easiest to replace Sublett. I say this because on both sides of the ball you have people who can play his position. On defense you will have Reynolds who was the starting LB at the first of the year and Bucky Bailey who has played LB since his freshman year. With Bailey and Reynolds you have two fast hard-hitting LB's. On offense Reynolds will play FB who was the best runner Paintsville had last year until he was injured. Losing Sublett will hurt somewhat but not as much as some of the linemen they lost and they also lost 3 starters in the secondary.
