Injury Report
Chilo Rachal sprained his right knee and tailback C.J. Gable said he sat out to rest his chronically sore groin. Cornerback Shareece Wright pulled a hamstring.
``I hope I can come back next week,'' Wright said, but there was no official word on how long he will be out.
Tailback Stafon Johnson said someone stepped on his foot on his final carry but it was not considered serious while Rachal’s replacement, senior Alatini Malu injured his hamstring.
Who wants to bet that Chris Carlise will still be employed after this season?
I bet that airhead PC will keep Carlisle around even though we always get stupid injuries other teams don't....I mean....Carlisle made Hancock tear up his knee a few times, Patch tear up his knee 2 times, and don't forget Will Harris' injuries and the injuries of "I'm never going to be able to suit up at USC" Kevin Thomas as well!
You don't need to fire him! When the steroids disappear so will all the injuries!!
No...he'll actually be hiring one you seeing as you're now considered college football's preeminent strength training specialists.
No kidding, JR, your new name should be Tupac, b/c right now you are "Me against the world!" Did you go to bed last night kicking your dog?
So a sprained knee and a dislocated knee are the fault of the strength and conditioning coach? They are O-lineman, and how freakish that it occurred on the same down? How does he warrant that type of blame or criticism? Injuries are bound to happen, especially with lineman, your talking about 260+ lbs getting rolled into your knee unexpectedly and awkwardly. Have we had our share of injuries, yes, but what is the big deal. A couple of pulled hammies in some cool weather, maybe the kids didnt stretch out enough pregam, there are so many other variables, to pin the blame on Carlisle is just not warranted
Watch the replay of O'Dowd's injury. It's ugly, and has nothing to do with conditioning. Someone steps on Johnson's foot (conditioning?). Washington, I think, missed most of his senior year in HS, due to injury (USC conditioning?), etc. But yea, I do remember Carlisle making all those vicious hits on Hancock, in scrimmages, the last few years.
