Hoping it's a sprain... but the way he went down and grabbed the outside of his knee? Looking like a tear.

 

[GO IRISH!!!]

What is the roster going to look like at the end of the season if we keep losing a starter or two or three every game?

 

[wizards8507]

Had nothing to do with turf. Not sure how you're making that connection after seeing how it happened.

That had nothing to do with field turf bro

Yes it absolutely was the FieldTurf. It's not just cutting on it that's dangerous. There's a physiological impact when your body expects the ground to behave a certain way and it doesn't. The stats don't lie on this stuff. Every bit of research says that it'll fuck up your knees (except for those studies funded by the turf companies).

 

[WabashFalcon]

Hoosiers are up at half time. That's... a thing.

 

[wizards8507]

I get the frustration but where Gramatica did that, wasn't he on grass? This I don't think is a grass vs. turf discussion in this case.

Certainly. I'm not saying that knee injuries are impossible on grass. But the general trend of rampant knee injuries is caused, at least in part, by the transition to artificial playing surfaces.

yea i posted a few studies on here also but people said itd make us faster and be an advantage...

oh well

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Looked like Drue was flinching on the way up. I doubt he hurt himself celebrating.

I hope so too, but it looked to me like he knew exactly what it was the second it happened. Seeing a guy scream and cry like that right away usually doesn't bode well at all.

Oh come on now. You cannot blame FieldTurf for this injury. If it makes you feel better at night then go ahead, but you cannot objectively say it was the cause.

Edit: Watching the video his foot plants behind his body and his leg turns when he lands. That could happen on grass.

 

[TheRealLynch51]

listening to Drue scream in pain makes me want to puke. this is a tough one as he is my favorite

This. Hearing him scream actually made me feel more uncomfortable than Malik's injury.

Just another way to blame Kelly. He was the one that got us the FieldTurf right?

 

[WabashFalcon]

Positives... Kiser's looked great. Line's looked pretty good.

 

[GO IRISH!!!]

Looked like Drue was flinching on the way up. I doubt he hurt himself celebrating.

I watched it again and you see his knee completely buckle under him when he lands after the celebration. I could be wrong, but that is what it looked like to me.

idk how u guys can watch injuries. watching body parts go wrong directions makes me sick. i havent seen an injury in years

correct

 

[BeauBenken]

Who fills Tranquill's spot?

He starts to grab his knee mid air. It happened before the landing

If you take away their TD drive I'd love to see how many yards GT had on their other drives (and their YPA). Defense has done very well all day besides that one.

 

[Irishman77]

He starts to grab his knee mid air. It happened before the landing

no he did not...

 

[levicarvalho]

Could have been really better: Losing XP, 5 stupid penalties and 2 turnovers in one half it's unacceptable. I liked that we forced 5 three and longs.. that was HUGE

 

[GO IRISH!!!]

Anyone have any data for the highest total of season ending injuries in the first three games of the season?

 

[BeauBenken]

Holy hell guys, are we going to talk about how he got hurt or who next man in is?

 

[Whiskeyjack]

You're right. Just saw the replay. Want to call it a fluke, but...

 

[GO IRISH!!!]

He starts to grab his knee mid air. It happened before the landing

That's what I thought at first. However, the knee he grabs mid air is not the knee he injures.

NOBODY

 

[BeauBenken]

That's what I thought at first. However, the knee he grabs mid air is not the knee he injures.

I think he might have honestly cramped or pulled something in his left leg going up for the jump and then he lands awkwardly on his right leg because of it.

ANYWAYS, who is next man in?

 

[loomis41973]

Have played well and should be up more. Poor play calling as usual in the RZ.

At this rate it isn't going to matter much because we are going to start suiting up walk-ons.

But seriously, your analysis above is probably spot on.

I don't have enough knowledge to say who comes in next.

 

[wizards8507]

You can say I'm right. It won't hurt.
