Lucas Injury?

TwentySix said:
So if something happened it was on the punt that was initially ruled a fumble that hit a Stanford player. It does look like he may have pulled up there. (He’s the gunner at the top)

Looks like this was his last snap. It was also 42-6 the next time the defense went out there, so idk.

Miami has a enough athletes that we don't need important starters in on special teams IMO, especially not against nerd schools and booty state.

That is the highest injury risk phase of the game IIRC.
 
The good news is our schedule sets up nicely to where most of these guys can rest up these next few games so realistically we’re looking at a month-ish before we really need them. ****, as bad as Clemson and Free Shoes look we may not need them for those games either 😂.
 
If we lose a game in September or October, it shouldn’t be solely because we’re missing Lucas and OJ in the secondary. This roster is still way too talented to lose games simply because of two injuries. If we lose, it’s because the staff failed to get us ready, or we came out flat and mentally checked out
 
Dudes will lie and fight to get to play. There are only so many games in a dude's career. Like- Can you go? Sure coach. I feel great! (Ankle the size of a grapefruit)
 
All I can say is, I’m just glad we were able to keep our whole cornerback room in place from last season. I figured we were gonna lose at least two of those guys to the transport portal and I thought it would be Brown and O’Connor. Well, I’m sure glad we were able to keep them because we need them now. I’m also grateful that OJ is not a season ending injury and will get Antoine back midseason, and if Lucas is injured, hopefully get him back by Clemson. Either way, injuries happen, but at least none of them are season ending.
 
I'm expecting to see lots of zone, bend don't break, force the opponent to drive the length of the field with 5 yard passes and short runs only to kick FGs. Our offense will score at will on almost every team we face. Then in November or December, OJ + Antonie come back to give us additional depth/talent allowing us to play more man coverage heading into ACC/CFP games. Even if we give up 21pts on 7 FGs, I like our chances with 10 throwing to 1 and 4+6 running the ball if they attempt to take the pass away.

Don't know. Seems like I was wrong on the degree of the separation anyhow. Not trying to mislead anyone and my bad if anyone feels that way. As of yesterday we were feeling 2nd degree separation. 2 weeks tops. Apparently that's not the case now according to presser so I'll shut the **** up.

No, you may very well be correct. Mario did not give details on the separation, he just said it was a "significant injury".

To Mario, "significant" could involve 2-3 weeks. Depending on how the dates and the recovery falls, it could involve 3 games. And 3 regular season games out of 12 (4, if you include that he missed almost all of the Stanford game) would be "significant" to Mario.

Don't apologize. We have a bunch of posters who like to dissect Mario's word choices, but otherwise don't have the same access level to injury intel that you have.

Except he actually gave a timeline of his return, which is end of the year.

Brown and O’Connor are both bump and run corners. It’s not like we have to go to zone with them out on the field. They’re both man up corners. Maybe with the backups on the field we might have to do zone but not with Brown and O’Connor.

Is what it is brother. I happily keep stuff to myself all the time and I only mentioned it was a separation because I had the conversation the night before with someone on staff and after with oj to make sure he had a good mindset. No part in that did I think for a second it could be worse than we thought. That's on me and I have no problem with wearing things that I had to say. I was trying to give people a little bit of Peace of mind and what I said in fact seems to have had the opposite effect.

We won’t be the only top team with injuries. That’s football. Some teams will be starting true freshmen by the time the playoff rolls around. We could be as well. That’s just part of it now. It’s a 16-game season. All we can do is hope to be mostly healthy by January.
