He didn't say TEAM INJURIES. He said team injuries, COVID positives, and contact tracing (related to the positive COVID tests).
Obviously college fans want to see games played. But whether it's your team or another team, do you really want to see football played with a bunch of out of position guys? I'll admit I also like the idea of seeing who can get creative and who can overcome and who has the depth/talent to just shuffle guys around. But I don't think it's a great idea to have to have DL or TE or MLB playing OL (especially if the other team has a fully functional DL). That's just a recipe for getting your QB(s) crushed.
