2012-2013 NCAA Football Thread (National Signing Day)

[Mr. Sinister]

That's going to be tough to come back from. Man. All 4 ligaments plus the femur, and still recovering on the other leg.

I feel for the kid. He was ballin' yesterday until that injury. I hope he makes it back and can resume his career. Hate to see that happen to the kid.

its over for him. All 4 ligaments, plus the femur and patella.

He may suit up for senior day to walk out, but he will never play football again. He almost quit last year after the ACL tear, iirc.


I just hope South Carolina and the boosters take care of him and his family. Pay for whatever education he wants and give him a cushy job afterwards. He is the reason why South Carolina are a good program right now. His signing there turned that program around.

Yes, Oregon is probably the second best team, probably the only other contending team that can match up with Bama in coaching quality. But they don't have the defense to hang with Alabama.

Oregon's defense is pretty good. When they smoke 4 ranked teams in 5 weeks they will be #2.

i think their defense is ranked in the top 3, when the game is within 28 points.

They have a great defense this season. Anyone who says otherwise isnt watching. Although I do wonder how their offense's speed matches up with Alabama's defense's speed.

I'm still pissed UNC beat NCSU. But to give credit where it's due, that PR by Bernard was pretty nice.

ETA: Glad Duke lost

Why State didn't punt the ball out of bounds is completely beyond me. I have an idea, let us not kick it to the best player in the stadium.

Just popped into my head, haven't analyzed it.

Freshmen: No combine, no pro days, must be taken within the top 16 picks. If not, eligibility is reinstated in the NCAA.

Sophomores: No combine, pro days allowed, must be taken within the top 32 picks. If not, eligibility is reinstated in the NCAA

If a freshman elects to enter the draft, and is not drafted, he must wait until after his junior year to enter the draft.

Any holes you see?

Don't fix what isn't broke.

Marcus Lattimore has a dislocated knee.

The reports were wrong about 4 ligaments and broke his femur.

[Monte51Coleman]

Seems that a knee dislocation requires the ligaments to be torn-

http://www.emedicinehealth.com/knee_...article_em.htm

Knee Dislocation Overview

A knee dislocation occurs when the bones that form the knee are out of place. A knee dislocation, more specifically, is when the bones of the leg (the tibia and fibula) are moved in relation to the bone in the thigh (femur). The bones of the knee are held together by strong bands of tissue called ligaments. Each ligament is responsible for stabilizing the knee in a certain position. For a knee dislocation to occur, these ligaments must tear.

Lattimore still may not be done with football. He still has a redshirt season available and even Spurrier mentioned that he could be back for the 2014 season.

You talk about bad luck, all Maryland QB's are out with injuries to the knee or leg. They will start a linebacker at QB for their next game. Damn.

Wow. And yet they still managed to double their win total over last year. I think its a testament to how improved that defense of theirs is.

[big#44]

Was just about to post that tweet Monte51Coleman. Funny stuff. Although a bit ironic given the size of EJ Manuel.

#Terps have lost THREE QBs to ACLs this yr & one to a foot injury. Never seen anything like it. Backup LB Shawn Petty your new starting QB.

Jeff ‏@saintwarrick
Don't worry Terps, Virginia Tech's been starting a linebacker at QB all year long.

[afkidd]

if MD had a running game it'd be ok, but the best the running game has looked is when burns was in. Not sure WTF Edsall is going to do, but if he gets fired this year, it's a damn shame. I don't care what team you root for, if they are down to the 5th string QB, they are not winning 6 games.

[ixcuincle]

He's not going to get fired. The buyout is too much, and the team already looks better than last year. I wanted him gone, but the team clearly is improved from last year. They gave WVU a good test, and lost to UConn, NC State, and BC in the final seconds.

He's not going anywhere. If Maryland had a healthy QB, they'd be pretty good. Losing 4 QB's isn't Edsall's fault.
