Jared Afalava Out this weekend

I don't remember Alf playing a lot in the nickel package so this shouldn't be a big deal.
You're right. I'm expecting (hoping) that it will mostly be Gerry and M. Rose at the LB spots this week. Afalava doesn't play much unless we're in our base 4-3.

This quote, again by Bo, seems to allude to other issues......

Buck linebacker Jared Afalava will not play Saturday, Pelini said, and not because of injury.<img class="UMSRatingIcon" id="ums_img_tooltip" /> Just odd that Bo completely rules him out. Going against spread teams in the past, dont really remember such a candid statement.

Bo mentioned in the interview last tuesday that so many of the kids coming out of high school programs haven't seen any system resembling his on the defense. I know most college players were the best on their team and in many cases they were just told to go tackle the guy with the ball. Also in watching film he said a number of times there were two or three breakdowns where someone messed up and Minn made big yards.

Afalava is out? Must be in Bo's doghouse
I know this gets said about a lot of people, but it is true in this case. He is apparently always had a bad attitude and gets lazy, and the staff is tired of it. So you would be correct that he is in Bo's doghouse.
