Others, such as Christian Darrisaw, Ryan Kelly, Harrison Smith, Donovan Jackson, and Brian O’Neill, have missed significant time.

If someone told me that in July, I’d reasonably expect we’d be sitting at 1-4 right now, with 0-5 hanging around at the fringes of my thoughts. A record of 2-3 would’ve been seen as the dream scenario. The fact that we’re sitting at 3-2 is simply amazing. There are...
