Micah Kia on his initial thoughts from the knee injury:

“I didn’t know what happened. I’ve never had knee problems in the past. The initial shock wasn’t extremely painful with the adrenaline running. But what happened happened.”

On the frustration of the injury, and on the bright side:
“It’s just frustrating – as a unit we’ve been working really hard. I was looking forward to playing this year. No tears, but it has sunk in. The fact I still have my redshirt and can still come back gives me confidence.”
