ANALYSIS
Malepeai has been dealing with soreness in his knee since the start of the season but has played through the pain up until this past Saturday in which the soreness got to a point where it was unbearable. The team has only six games remaining and while Malepeai hasn't been ruled out for the season, he has been declared out indefinitely as he recovers from knee surgery. The junior running back led the backfield in touches, rushing yards and rushing touchdowns through six games. Stephen Carr and Markese Stepp are expanded to see their roles expand with Malepeai out for the considerable future.
