Enhance Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Have the fans hit the point yet where the injuries on offense are making them question the team's toughness and S&C, or do we still like this coaching staff enough to not do that yet? 1 2 3 Quote Link to comment

I know you are being sarcastic but I’m curious why the offense is having so many injuries but the defense isn’t? (Seems like a “normal” injury year) because of that I rule out S&C. If it was SC then it should be hitting both sides of the ball. Right? 3 Quote Link to comment

S&C is doing an excellent job with this staff. The injuries are happening in offense because of insufficient NIL funds and players being too close to walk ons. 4 2 Quote Link to comment

A lot of our offensive players do not rotate as much. And then throw in some freak injuries. I remember the first few years of the Frost era I swear to god it was like every true freshman tore up a knee. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

IMO, I think it's due in large part to the nature of being an offensive player. I did a quick Google search and found that there have actually been some studies on the topic. In general, running backs and wide receivers tend to suffer the most injuries. Quarterbacks and o-linemen are among the least. It's unfortunate for the team that so many of said injuries have been season-ending ones, too. We're all used to seeing guys get dinged up and missing a few weeks but to see guys have their seasons end at this rate is pretty unfortunate. Some of it just bad luck, too. 1 Quote Link to comment

Remember the "Pubic tear" or something like that, when Solich took over... "They are squatting wrong!!!" The expert fans kept telling us, even though all of them are 50 pounds overweight and have not been inside a gym in 20 years. 2 Quote Link to comment
