Welcome to The Platinum Board. We are a Nebraska Husker news source and fan community.
Sign Up Now!Which God did you pray to?I prayed to God that Rhule would play our freshmen wide outs and it seems like God took it too far
The wrong one obviouslyWhich God did you pray to?
Damn you BHWRHGThe BHWRHG (Big Hairy Wide Receiver-Hating God) strikes again.
Injuries pile up, Washington is the seventh Husker to suffer season-ending injury
Washington's injury is just the latest hit to the Husker receiver room. Nebraska lost Zavier Betts when he left the program just 19 days prior to the season opener, and Isaiah Garcia-Castaneda tore his ACL as well in the opener against Minnesota.
Washington is the seventh Husker to be lost for the season due to injury. He joins Garcia-Castaneda, RBs Gabe Ervin Jr. (dislocated hip) and Rahmir Johnson (dislocated shoulder) and DB Dwight Bootle (shoulder) who were all lost for the season with injuries against Northern Illinois, plus true freshman linebacker Maverick Noonan (knee) who was hurt toward the beginning of fall camp. Also, DL Brodie Tagaloa is out for the season after an off-season car accident left him with a knee injury and significant cuts on his face.
Those are in addition to key injuries on the offense:
>> QB Jeff Sims, who has missed the last four games after suffering a high-ankle sprain against Colorado.
>> FB Barret Liebentritt (elbow) has missed the last two games.
>> WR Jaidyn Doss, who suffered a broken arm in the middle of fall camp but returned for his first snaps versus Illinois.
>> OL Ethan Piper, who has not missed any games but has been playing with a cast on his hand.
On defense:
>> DL Cam Lenhardt, who luckily avoided a serious injury against Northern Illinois and finally returned against Illinois after recovering from an ankle sprain.
>> SAF DeShon Singleton, whose knee injury kept him out against Illinois and will leave the Huskers without him "for an extended period time."
>> LB Luke Reimer, who got hurt in the first half against Louisiana Tech and missed the Michigan and Illinois games after a hospitalization for an unrelated issue.
Rhule said he's never been a part of a team with this many injuries to key guys. At receiver, he says there are a number of guys who will need to step up and take advantage of the opportunities they'll get in games with Washington out.
Excellent cope. I will be using this, thank youI will say, if you presented this injury scenario (which doesn't even include Chubba Purdy or Teddy Prochaska injuries) to most Husker fans before the season, and said we'd still be 3-3 at this point, the vast majority would say that would be an incredible achievement.

LOL…good stuff. But, given we’ve thrown the ball like 30 times (yes, ridiculous overgeneralization)…lot’s to make up with his lossHis 8 receptions through 5+ games will be hard to replace.
