the dropped passes early on foretold what was coming

TTL for the defense and FGs

with all that, WCU is losing and Chat won by 1

It happens... good teams still get the W

Toomey was on the sideline in shorts with a bendable knee brace. I think resting his knee which caused a bit of out of place on the line. We will see again the 8 in the box formula and we will learn from it.

Hope he can go next week. I too think that really messed with our OL play. That n Huff only running three times.

Shorts indicates they had no intention of him playing today. Keep us posted. We will be in a much bigger fight if he can’t go at UTC

There is/was nothing wrong with TH. He was obviously told not to run the ball. Of course when you are trying not to get hurt that is when it hapoens.

Agree here. This has become the mo for stopping us …. They see us as a better running team than passing team ( see last week v WCU) and I aagree. I think we will continue to see 8 in box for rest of year

Please anyone help me keep this updated.

OUT NOW
20. Achina at ILB out for year - last years starter who then was replaced by Jalen Miller I think.
31. ILB Bryce McCormick out how long.. vertigo?

NEW :cry: 51 Petit OL out for year . Starting OG. Out at Sammy

Several RBs
21 Jaquan S out for year...
Grant Robinson out for a while. Maybe back in few weeks :D or last of reg season
RB Kendall Thomas nbr 17 practiced today 10/17 before WCU. :D
Good to add RB depth
Be good to have KT soon And maybe Grant later

So that leaves as of Samford game. At RB
nbr 8 Roberto and
nbr 7 Hicks of the original 4 RBs
+ 9 Anderson
GOOD UPDTE. :D See above.
KT not seen yet in game though has practiced. Robinson may be possible later

--------------------------Trying to keep a list for me as of ETSU. These are big. Need Toomey on OL

Toomey 75 did not play Vs ETSU was seen in shorts and flexible knee brace on sideline
Blackshear had hand surgery late October. Missed ETSU. Not expected out too long

What do y’all know about ANY of these guys status ? Thanks for help

Take Huff off the list. Radio guys confirmed he is healthy.

Apparently, Blackshear has been playing with a hand injury since the Citadel game. He went ahead and had surgery on his hand last week. Hunter mentioned the coaches hoped he could be back soon. It could be this week, or it could be the next. Robinson/Yates/Ingram played very well. The key to our coverage is Cally Chizik. We should be ok till we get Travis back.

Toomey was on the sideline in shorts, often huddling with the freshmen lineman, coaching. Toomey was also very animated. The dude is a gamer—you could tell he wanted to be in there.

KT was dressed out, and I thought he looked good in warmups. Later on the sidelines, I noticed the large thigh/knee wrap. I didn't notice it during warmups. He could have tweaked his knee.

Grant Robinson was on the sidelines in a black Jersey. He appears to be walking fine, without a brace or any signs of any other mobility device. We could see Grant back in action this season or for the playoffs.

Jayquan Smith was on the sidelines - in a major knee brace and crutches—well wishes for a complete recovery.

Astro is spot on about Toomey and Chizik. #24 is the key to our defensive backfield!
Yep Cally has been outstandng, 4 interceptions.

Done and thanks.

To me, after Huff, Toomey is most important. That is NOT a cut on Blackshear. Not. As a matter of fact Blackshear might be the best NFL possible on the team! But with Chizick and Ryan and depth back there we just are more built to be down a guy in backfield.

On other hand, you could visibly see the OL wasn’t the same without Toomey.. partly talent of Toomey and some just learning and time to gel. We need him to get back
