[HerbRedman]

Just don’t expect him to catch anything

if you stay ready you don't have to get ready?!?!?

Bo Jackson dislocated his hip and damaged the blood supply to the head of his femur, which became necrotic, and required a hip replacement. I don’t know what happened with Gabe’s hip, and I don’t really know shit about bones, but my hope would be that if that did happen to Gabe, catching it early would help him avoid the downstream consequences that Bo experienced.

Thanks. Thought I remembered something like that from the 30 for 30.

Better comp these days is probably Tua's dislocated hip. Probably will not reqiure a replacement but still pretty gnarly

All we heard on the TV broadcast was that they were out...I know there's nothing specific they can mention but dayum, did none of the media ask at the post game??

 

[LoudHogRider]

How I feel after learning about all these injuries. Sucks for those young men. Godspeed on your recoveries.

 

[stonesak]

Hasn't Barthel dealt with this before? Did a pretty good job, IIRC.

Other than depth, it’s not much of a loss on the productivity side.

It means you risk running Grant into the ground if you give him 30 carries a game. They probably won't do that, but you have to hope that Johnson and Ives are ready to significantly contribute ..

 

[stonesak]

Silver lining is both guys are eligible for a medical redshirt I believe.

 

[Jim14510]

One or the other would be inconvenient. Both sucks huge donkey dick.

Grant is NOT an every down RB...He gets winded after about 5 carries. I hope he takes advantage of this opportunity...he needs the Lester Hayes stick-um on his gloves though

If you deep dive it, the two of them have combined for 50 rushing attempts through 3 games. Grant has 16 total. Having Grant rush 20 times a game vs 4 makes up the difference. Not as massive as it seems. Now, if Grant gets hurt or fumbleitis, I’m not sure what the hell they will do.

2 things that give me hope for Johnson:

1. He's our #1 KR so he's obviously already doing something right
2. During fall camp Rhule mentioned him as doing well and someone he thought had some talent

 

[1HuskerDad]

Channel 6 being Channel 6. Bootle is not a RB.

 

[skersker]

Wandale shouldn't had classified as an All Purpose Back in HS if he didn't want to be one in college

people still defend frost? holy re+ard

Not trying to say that he’s fucked or anything, that was just the first thing that came to mind when I saw dislocated hip. If I remember right, he got really unlucky and when it popped back in it pinched a nerve or something that really screwed him up.

The main artery was partially severed and he was bleeding internally. It wasn't discovered for several days. At least that's what I recall from his 30 for 30.

Benning said the other night that he thinks emmett will be special
