Edwards was "50-50" entering the week, Klieman said during the team's weekly media session. It was reported Friday morning, ahead of the game, that Edwards would return to the lineup.
But after four carries, Edwards was removed from the game. He had a rush of 11 yards, flashing what the Wildcats' offense has been missing.

What Chris Klieman said about Dylan Edwards
"It's pretty evident when you take a guy like Dylan Edwards out of this offense, it's a big hit to us. I applaud Dylan; he gave it a go, gave it an effort, and got a couple of runs. For whatever reason, I knew he wasn't going to last long, and he didn't. He tried. When we don't have Dylan, we lack that explosiveness on offense."
