Adrian Martinez Injury

[ZRod]

Probably will hold him out of Troy to try to get him healthy for Michigan.

I'd like to see him get a couple series in vs Troy with no designed runs if he's ok. He needs all the reps he can get, but selfishly I want to see him torch Michigan in person.  :steam

I agree that he should play vs. Troy if he can give it a go.  I also want him as healthy as possible for Michigan, as I will be there, too.

MCL Sprain can be anywhere from missing no time, to 4-6 weeks depending on the severity.  Hope for the best and no cartilage damage. 

It isnt of the 4-6 week severity. Cut those numbers in half. Really depends on how treatment goes this week and will be evaluated in later part of this week.

Hopefully thats(it being an MCL sprain) the case. I am not in the mood to rush him back. Would rather keep him healthy long term but we also need to win some games.

Well, based on this info  . . it's likely Coach will provide more technicolor this afternoon.

Frost says Martinez is day to day.  YAY!!!!

As good as we could've hoped for. Lets get the optimism train going again.

Frost says they've turned that play into the league offices.

From the angle he's seen, he doesn't think the intention of the Colorado player was good at all.

Sounds like Martinez is going to be a game-time decision. Could play against Troy, but won't know until Saturday.

This may be the angle Frost was talking about? Watch #44.

I thought Frost said the replay they turned in was not available to the public? What is the punishment? Is there a policy? Since he plays for sCUm, do they take away his weed for a week?

I'd expect Martinez to be the top secret emergency QB. 

Bunch is is more than capable but guys need to block and catch for him. Those two key drops in the second half seem to have especially irritated Frost.

 

[ScawFraw]

The fact that he is day to day already is great.  If not Troy, then Mochigan for sure.

I agree with turning it over to the league offices, notice how #44 Jacob Callier holds on to Martinez's leg (fine, no biggy) but then starts to roll his body over twisting it in the process.  Dirty, eff that guy.  It reminds me of an incident in the early 2000s against OU, I think it was Rocky Calmus twisting Crouch's or a RB's leg.

 

[Lyons in the Sea of Red.]

Unless he's 100 percent, sit him. Bunch is capable.

RE: the bold:  My guess is it's a better angle, more to the right, from the sidelines.  It sure looks like #44 grabs & twists the leg when Martinez is on the ground.

As for punishment, I'm not sure. I can't remember ever hearing about a player suspended or penalized for a dirty play in the previous game.
