Is there really nothing a team can do about injuries—in this case, to wide receivers? I’ve always wondered about that: is there any causal relationship between injuries and strength and conditioning methods? Practice habits? I would guess that the best minds in football have studied the issue, but I’ve never read anything about systemic injury-reduction plans.
Rhule says the research shows natural grass causes fewer injuries than field turf, and he clearly prioritizes recovery tools, so I wonder if he’d be willing to talk about other ways coaches and trainers can affect injury rates.
Injuries had some to do with the fumbles and the interceptions. The big problem was we could generate no forward pass threat and the biggest threat running was the Qb. Both can work with an option genus like Dr. Oz and hundreds of hours of practice on reading and pitching. With several QB s with throwing skills and a flock of running backs who have played, we might be able to throw it to our own guys. Think about that. Now if we can run it too wow .
I was thinking about that today: It’s kind of amazing the handful of option looks Nebraska ran worked as well as they did. “Well, we can’t throw it real well which means we are running into stacked boxes all the time, so maybe we try this wrinkle that we don’t practice full time?” Got at least two long TD passes out of it.
TBH I had discounted Indiana this year. After watching Cignetti's 🐂💩 comment, that probably wasn't a good idea. Bringing the players with him that he did will get them started fast on the changes. The money from the B1G will get him recruits better than he is used to.
The 105 limit makes me sad. I understand it though. I am specifically wondering what someone like David Hoffken does because he's not going to play the first year so do they just have him attend classes and build himself up in the weight room for a year? Not on the 105. Maybe getting some nil or something to replace scholarship costs and other things? Like Rhule says, the devil is in the details of the 105.

If they'd have gotten to 9-3 my pockets would be significantly heavier too. Oh well, trying again this year.
😏 Well, because they didn’t, nine will still get you something. Better luck this year.
