'11 CA ATH George Atkinson III (Signed Notre Dame LOI)

Giving cierre wood more touches is never a bad thing

Word

 

[UmphreakDomer]

I'm not freaking out but I do think this is a big deal. In all of bk's interviews he keeps mentioning the offense having to come up with big plays and he has been our best consistent big play player. 2 returns for td's last year. Averaging 8.1 yds/carry and has 2 50+ yd td runs most on the team. Also keep in mind that he is the guy that has been able to run the misdirection plays the best. For a game like this we r gonna need everybody at their best.

agree with all of your statement, but the bolded part. he's not. so, next man in. and there is still plenty of talent and big play threats out there--just need them to step up. again, this is not a deal breaker.

when have we as ND fans gone into a game nervous about a third string running back not making the trip? granted, he is used more than a third string guy and has big play potential, but still. our "d" doesnt allow anyone to freaking score which means he gets LESS touches because no one is kicking to him! this really doesnt worry me in the least. it sucks. its hardly crucial, in my opinion.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

Don't need to mention the return game which he has been terrible in. This only hurts on offense.

I know George's "girl" kind of well, and she told me that George does not have the flu but got an "infection while shaving" and could be relatively serious

 

[DomeLover3]

Oh God..

 

[BeauBenken]

Get well soon, George.

Oh boy... Hope it isn't MRSA. Get Better GA3!

Damn. I hope that's not the case.

Mrsa was first thing I thought of too.

Just went over it in one of my classes last week. Supposedly becoming a bigger problem in sports. Hope it isn't, that is one infection I wouldn't wish on anyone.

 

[kmoose]

Our only true home run threat is out....great.

*ahem*..........

 

[Junkhead]

We look forward to having him back soon!

My last year of football college, 2010, was when outbreaks started happening and we were once a week cleaning everything in our lockeroom.

Pardon the ignorance, but what is MRSA?

EDIT nvm, didnt realize that was just the tehincal name for staph infection

 

[irishog77]

After Cierre's TD scamper, ND now has 3 backs with 50+ yard runs on the season, right? Pretty cool.

Different then a reg staph, very serious. People have died because of it.

Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus. It refers to certain strains of staph aureus that have developed mutations that enable them to resist the usual antibiotics. Thus, it's harder to treat and can get very serious---and potentially deadly.

Get better soon George, in all of our thoughts and prayers.

Instead of having 3 effective antibiotics you're reduced to two, and as you keep using it eventually it'll be reduced to nill, and then will take over the world.


What?

Kelly says that George Atkinson III has been cleared after contracting the stomach flu during the week.

HC Brian Kelly on George Atkinson III: "He was weak and dehydrated, it didn't make sense for us to put him on a plane."

Irish Sports Daily‏@ISDUpdate

Kelly: G. Atkinson was weak & dehydrated. One of six ND players to battle flu last week.

 

[Chamellion]

Was there any other disease he could have gotten but the runs?

Sigh of relief. Thanks for the update.

In response to Cierre Wood being a home-run hitter:

Oh yeah? How many has he hit this year? Or last year?

What's his longest TD run?

Nice one, pat.

Can't wait to see Atkinson back on the field.

 

[tko]

GA III seemed a bit lethargic last week vs Pitt. Hopefully that bug that got him is completely gone and he's fresh for BC. I'd like to see some explosive plays like we saw in the Miami game.

 

[MrIrishCanadian1]

I noticed that Georgie was replaced by Cierre wood for kickoff returns for the Wake game (or at least the one kickoff return that we had). Any insights as to why? Lack of production? Honoring Cierre?

Actually, he was replaced by Cam McDaniel, another Sophmore. My guess is that Coach just thought he could get more production from Cam.

 

[irishff1014]

I did notice that. On the touchdown run GAIII hit the hole hard and stright in for the TD. I liked that out of him. He needs to buff up some more and become more then a speed back.

Well, Cam McDaniel is always back there in kickoff returns with GAIII. But this time it was McDaniel and Wood instead. So why was it McDaniel and Wood instead of McDaniel and GAIII?
