That they have not even played suggests that they are nowhere near ready, so who comes in to take Okereke's spot when he graduates?

Wasn't everybody raving about Ricky Miezan in fall practice? He's listed as an inside backer.

Is he injured?  Otherwise, why not get him into <5 games so as to get him some game experience, see how he does in game situations, etc.  I suppose it is possible that he is good enough that the coaches want to reserve him for the last five games of the year or something, but with the new redshirt rule, there is really no reason not to give freshmen some snaps in a real game situation, unless you are sure they are not ready (or they are injured).
