"This year, it’s not necessarily the number of injuries it’s just all hit on one side of the ball. And it’s all hit at one position, and that’s the safety position unfortunately and the defensive end position," Muschamp said. "I don’t know if we had an inordinate amount of injuries," Muschamp said. "It’s been one side of the ball. Last year, our offensive line got hit hard. For whatever reason it’s happened."

Fennell, the junior BUCK and defensive end, has played in all 11 games so far and racked up 29 tackles before injuring the ACL against Clemson.

Other than that, Muschamp said there are no other lingering injuries out of the Clemson game. Jaycee Horn and J.J. Enagbare, who both missed Saturday's game with injury, are expected back as well.
