Scanning the roster because of this injury, it is striking how young we will be on defense next year.

I recall that 2004 was a pretty rough year in terms of injuries. Croyle was lost early in the year and I think Spencer Pennington may have been out for some time and we ended up starting Marc Guillon a couple of games. Then we lost Ray Hudson and Tim Castille for the year.
Brandon Avalos also IIRC. Tough times.

Another injury on our Line. It's late in the season to burn a Redshirt,
but if we are to have a chance to go the distance we need to do it.
Our sidelines have resembled a MASH UNIT. Difference is that we don't have a comic relief. This has been a tough tough year.

Worse case scenario we would only have 3 more games this year. Best case runs us to the National Championship.
WE WILL DO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO...
I just hope the 'Next Man' is ready.

These injuries are crazy and are making me mad. We need all the depth we can get v Auburn and whoever we play after that. I wonder why injuries have been so bad this year. I know Cochran has a great conditioning program but hopefully he isn’t overworking the players. Sometimes injury process starts slowly and then it builds up, then happens in a full speed practice or game. At least that’s what my PT says and I agree with him as far as my injury goes.

I sure hope we stay injury free from here on out but the trend isn’t looking good. It would be great to make it to the playoffs at least.
This is bad luck and nothing else. Not many ACLs and other things you can mitigate with good S&C. Fluky upper body and foot injuries.

Maybe a bigger role for Quinnen as well. He's looked good.

He sure has. We've still got a lot of quality guys on the DL: Payne, Davis, Hand, Buggs, Frazier, Q. Williams--Mathis if necessary

And the rest of college football wonders why Coach Saban recruits as hard as he does & at the level that he does year in n year out..Unfortunately injuries happen when you play at the Championship Level we play at..

Guys, Remember Ray lost his redshirt when Hand got hurt. Now that Hand is back.. We should be okay for a while. If his injury is similar to Mack Wilson, It's possible he can be back for playoff... So those two potential games, we might be okay for a while. WE should be okay.

Don't forget SDH has a patella fracture. Nothing can prevent that, except not getting banged in the knee cap.

I don't think even Earle has experienced that injury.

(OK, now I'll take a nap.)

No, thank God. I rehabbed my ACL alongside a young girl whose skating partner (her brother) had dropped her on her knee on the ice, fracturing it. I felt sorry for her, she was in such pain. There's not much you can do except wait for it to heal and maintain strength...
