IMO, this hurts at the depth of the position, it's not such a blow because we lost Wood, but just that we have one less corner. Yes Wood had so far been fending off Josh Atkinson at the #2 spot, but really, Wood hadn't proved himself on the field yet. He had that one interception return for a TD against Maryland, where their was a screen of some sort and Lo must have been playing MAN coverage and just happen to be in the right place as the QB through the ball directly to him. I hate to see players like Wood who looked to have been promising but to me it's just the next guy in. We knew this position was possibly going to be the weak point on defense, things haven't changed, the depth hurts but not the talent at that position, that stays the same; poor. I think whoever steps in is and will probably do about as much as Lo would have or better, who knows until we actually get on the field and play. You can assume all you want that the oppostion is going to throw all over us, but you never know until it happens.

This just means our D line needs to ensure the opposing QBs feel enough pressure to force him to make quick decision/inacurate throws and allow our weak spot to be covered a bit
Just like stated above, our pressure on the QB this year can play an important role on settling in our DB's, I think our front 7 saves our DB's from any major hiccups. I don't see how Wood's injury is going to change the outcome of our season, run the ball and don't give up big plays on defense and we can easily win 9 games.
