Best Michigan DB seriously hurt

[Riddickulous]

Troy Woolfolk was hurt and immediately transported to the hospital today. This is a massive hit to the Michigan secondary, as the senior cornerback was the best player they had in the defensive backfield.

i would make a comment on how this summer is getting better and better, but i want to make sure he's ok (not to play) first

[GO IRISH!!!]

I am happy for how a depleted secondary helps our chances against them, but I sure do hope the young man makes a speedy recovery and it isn't anything too serious.

 

[Riddickulous]

Have to feel for you guys, Blue. Your secondary is...wow...just wow.

Jimmy had over 300 passing yards and 3 td's despite Tate uncharacteristically dropping 2 TD's. Imagining how bad their secondary can be w/o their top 3 corners from last year is pretty intriguing.

Cissoko was awful and was pulled before he was booted off the team.

Their Top 3 were, IMO...

1. Donovan Warren
2. Troy Woolfolk
3. Jordan Kovacs

Kovacs is still there.

The Devil made me type this, but right after we scorch their secondary in our ballgame, several Holy Cross priests should go to the Grotto and pray for a speedy full recovery and a fine NFL career.

I hope he's ok as well, and after reading both Spartan boards and yours it's good to see most are feeling for him before laughing at our situation. Which is really good to see.

But yes our secondary is...beyond words...

Michael Floyd...I don't think I'll be able to describe the dominance he'll exhibit over that secondary.

At this rate, I don't think you even need to describe Michael Floyd's dominance. I am pretty sure Floyd from the Muppet Show band could exhibit dominance over that secondary.

 

[BGIF]

Shouldn't that be in Maize and Blue?

This will be like Paul Bunyan among toddlers...but much worse.

Hey, look on the bright side: this pretty much guarantees that you guys will get a new coach next year.

That being said, I hope the kid can make a speedy recovery. After you play us, of course.

 

[NDinL.A.]

So what's the injury and how bad is it? A trip to the hospital right away? Wow. My prayers go out to him. I hope he recovers quickly and is back on the field for the ND game. I want to play Michigan at their best...

 

[Ironman8]

ESPN is reporting it is a "lower body injury":

The rumor I have heard is a dislocated ankle, but no substance to that at this point.

 

[]\/[GoBlue]

There are no substantial notes I can find at this point to say what the injury is, I've heard medical red shirt thrown around a bit, but again this is all message board and forum talk. He was/is one of our most vocal leaders in the locker room, he made it seem this was going to be a very personal season for him, I feel very sorry for him.

Agreed 100%. Thoughts and prayers go out to anyone on any team that suffers a serious injury. I hate Cal but when I saw Best go out like that last year, I about threw up.
I want Michigan to be able to give us anything they "think" they have. Reguardless if this guy plays or not, Michigans defense wont be able to do much with Floyd or Kyle. Not a lot of teams in the country could. Im not saying anything about a landslid victory because Im not sold on our defense yet, but Michigans secondary is in trouble reguardless.
Floyd 8 catches for 137 yards and a touchdown.
Kyle 6 catches for 94 yards and two touchdowns.

This is how I see it.

Michigan has no suitable replacements for Woolfolk. There is no way they can stop Michael Floyd without putting at least two defenders on him. This opens up easy seams/openings for Theo Riddick, Tai-ler Jones, Shaq Evans and most importantly...Rudolph. The passing attack, if the blocking is up to par of course, will have absolutely zero issues with working.

Michigan fans are throwing out RIDICULOUS replacements for Woolfolk:

DENARD ROBINSON. I've been reading Michigan boards to get a gauge on the reaction of that fanbase...and boy is it ugly. Some people genuinely believe that Robinson can START BOTH WAYS. They're delirious in their hysteria.

 

[Rocket's Rocket Fan]

My thoughts and prays go out for him, hope he makes a full recovery

 

[GreatGolson]

Shouldn't that be in Maize and Blue?

REPSSS

We have two great freshmen in Avery and Christian so one of those two will be the likely replacement, but they're just freshmen. I also believe we're looking into seeing if Woodson has any eligibility left.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

I hope he's ok.

 

[BGIF]

Woolfolk's father, Butch, a former Michigan All-American running back, told the Detroit Free Press that Troy sustained a dislocated ankle that had to be reset. There's possible ligament damage and a decision on surgery will be made later.

Only 25 days till ND game.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

Michael Floyd just came. He'll put up better stats than his entire freshman and sophomore year in this game haha.

I hope this guy's okay though. Never like to see the phrase "immediately transferred to the hospital".

 

[HereComeTheIrish]

Best of luck to the young man... He's a fine ballplayer. Get well soon.

I was thinking Cullen Christian is gonna see the field earlier than expected. If not a start against Con he'll get PT.

 

[Junkhead]

Hate to hear about injuries like that. Hopefully he makes a quick recovery.

 

[phork]

Heres wishes to a speedy recovery (26 days) and me betting the house on ND.
