'24 CA LB Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa (Notre Dame Signee)

[NDPhilly]

But it does matter. It’s 49-0, he’s your best linebacker, and you’re trying to stay healthy before a CFP run.

This is coaching malpractice.

It’s the first half. Tae got injured in practice. You can’t bubble wrap them.

The game is over at that point. Besides stat padding, there’s no reason for him to be playing.

Coaching malpractice. Shouldn’t have been in the game. Fuck a shutout.

Guys, I think arrowryan’s verdict is coaching malpractice, in case you missed it.

Take a deep breath dude. Shit happens.

Ya it's football, shit happens. Playing to not get hurt is nonsense. Be a shame if it's an ACL but it is what it is.

Are you equally upset that literally every other player of significance was still in the game?

You’re right, shit does happen. But this could’ve so easily been avoided.

It's insane to say that it's coaching malpractice. Love was in the game til the 3rd quarter didn't see you in the game day thread making these statements. Injuries happen, it sucks

 

[IrishTusker]

We do seem to have a lot of injuries compared to other teams. Obviously don't follow other teams as closely, so it could certainly be a biased conclusion, but I would like to see data about it. We certainly had more last year than OSU had, at least. At a certain point it isn't just bad luck.

 

[NDFAN2008]

Next man up, hopefully it’s just a strained meniscus like Love last year and he’s back in 4 weeks

 

[mrmcgrail]

We don't. Oregon is playing without its top 3 receivers. All teams deal with this, you just follow nd

I wasn’t watching the game, that’s why I asked what the score was when the injury occurred. But, to answer your question, all starters should’ve been out.

They’re up a million points against a dog shit opponent. Syracuse made it very clear that they were just gonna lay down and take it. Play the backups.

And to make it worse, this injury probably severely impacts his availability in 2026.

 

[IrishFanForever23]

It happens 2nd quarter with about 3 minutes left until half. He crashes the line and dives at the RB legs but misses. He jumps up and begins to chase from behind. The rest of the pile pushes the RB back into KVA and he goes down. He sits for a 2nd like he knows something is wrong and jumps up and heads straight to the sideline.

 

[NDPhilly]

Sneed and Ausberry aren’t slouches. Both would start on most P4 teams.

The last sentence mainly where I agree. Starters were still in because unfortunately we’re a two loss team and we’re still auditioning.

Right, but KVA is our second best player on D. A true impact player. This would be a big blow

Farimo is good as well

 

[Dale]

Our QB got hurt walking stairs once. You can’t Monday morning quarterback injuries

 

[NDPhilly]

FWIW, we’ll have Gabe Rubio back in post season play to help against the run.

 

[arrowryan]

So who’s the 4th LB now? Faraimo?

Or do they just role with 3?

This fucks up a bunch of stuff that Ash could do with the defense.

Everything they do with KVA they can do with Sneed. KVA is just consistently better at it. But Sneed can provide at times as good or better of the same skillset.

Consistently better and his football IQ is way way higher.

 

[NDFAN2008]

It’s not the end of the world let’s wait and see how his what happens like I said Love had a tweaked Menicus and still played. We are deep at LB. Getting Tae back and Rubio by playoffs will help. We had much worse injuries last year and made a deep run.

 

[BabyIrish]

Madden about to eat.

Madden about to eat.

He’s no Slouch he isn’t KVA but he’s more than capable

 

[Bane]

Sucks for him if it's season ending.

I guess the upshot is all of the doomers get something to bitch about until next Saturday. I was worried they weren't going to have anything to complain about.

If this is the way we play today, wwe might as well hire BK back. they can have his guys get injured while celebrating td's

 

[NDPhilly]

How useless are our journos

 

[Dale]

He never provides an update on an in game injury post game

 

[Rizzophil]

Most of you probably know

But you can test an ACL tear and ‘know’ it’s torn because of instability

You don’t confirm without a scan but you really know. I think KVA and the team knows it’s torn
