Yeeeesssss!!!!! This is fantastic news....I was really worried about the prospect of a freshman playing center in the BCSCG against that Sasquatch NG that ND has....big sigh of relief here. I still thought we could win with Kelly but this makes me feel a WHOLE lot better about beating ND

You knew that Jones would play in this game. He'd pull a Bully Vandergriff if necessary by cutting off the foot, bending a piece of rebar into the shape of a foot, and then sticking that up into his lower leg bone.

Re: Barrett Jones still on crutches and casted

My understanding is that Bama had a two hour practice today in shells, and that Barrett participated (in some way or another) in that.

Can anyone provide any more detail?

They were in pads and shorts today. Supposedly, he was taped but had a white jersey and no limitations on his movements. Looks like the treatment worked...

I figured they just wanted to rest him as much as possible...do cardio to keep his conditioning up and as much weightroom work the injury would allow.

Having Ryan Kelly getting as much practice time with the ones on O could/will pay dividends. Since he`ll start out as #1 center next year, the work will make him that much better prepared. Also, if Barrett should reinjure his foot during the game so that he can`t go or just needs a break, RK will be far better prepared.

RK better be ready

BTW - how great would it be if our backup Center had a great game to beat The Irish, and his name was Ryan Kelly?

Re: Barrett Jones still on crutches and casted

Barrett will not play barring an absolute miracle from someone close to the team. Ryan is ready. Has been practicing hard and is game ready. We will be fine. So we beat em by 17 instead of 30. Roll Tide.
Wow. Miracles really do happen!!!!:wink:
