This entire discussion is built off the errant assumption that Curt Maggitt is out for the year.
Last I heard, it's anywhere from 6-10 weeks. Six weeks puts him healthy at the Alabama game, with Bama, Kentucky, USCe, Mizzou, N Texas, and Vandy all remaining to be played. Not to count the post-season.
So let's stop writing him off for the year. It's kinda disrespectful to Curt, tbh.
