Wheeler was one of UNT's best defensive players and playmakers last fall and has pretty much vanished off the radar. He is still on the roster, but wasn't on the depth chart and didn't play against Lamar. 

That seems like a strange way to describe the situation of an injured player.

Pretty sure I saw Wheeler riding an exercise bike while he was talking with Bryce English on the sideline on Saturday.  Not sure exactly what the issue is with Wheeler, but it might be worth a question to the coaches to see if they can shed some light on the subject.  If he is injured, I am sure they will respond.  If it is something else, then they will not likely comment.

Regarding Sid Moore, I don't recall if he started, but he was rotating in pretty much every other series along with the rest of the DLine.  The rotation that I saw was Hambone, Tauaalo, Flusche and then the next group was Moore, Young, and Johnson.  They seemed to rotate pretty consistently through the first half and then some 3rd stringers started filtering into the game at some point.

What about Calvin Minor??? He was 2nd string behind Wheeler all of last year and in the spring. McDonald and LeMasters are 2nd string players behind EJ and Garner. That lineup at linebacker would have been pretty good in my opinion... I think we will be alright though, SMU will let us know for sure!

I was standing next to English in Q1 and didn't see Wheeler but I know he was up in the suite level later in the game.

Even if he is injuries SL won't say what it is

I'm just glad to hear Joshua Wheeler's name mentioned.

Is this Wheeler next to Bryce?  I see 45 on the bottom of the shirt, but that doesn't look like the pictures of Hurshie Williams (#45 on roster) that I have seen.  The long hair is what made me think it might be Wheeler.

Pretty sure that's him.  No idea what the "45" is about.
