Chris Weber out now

Should not matter according to those that think we still have more talent than everybody we play.
thought maybe he had a stinger by the way he acted. He played for quite a while after he got hurt. His injury really hurt us in the 4th quarter.
With all the injuries, it makes a person wonder if the light practice week, basically no hitting at all, has something to do with it.
Back in the day when the practices were said to be harder than the games and there was lots of hitting, did we have injuries like this?
Seems that whatever we are doing isn't working in that regard.

Its just bad luck. Our offensive guys have been virtually injury free with the exception of Gates rolling his ankle saturday. Stuff happens and this is just our year to have a bunch of injuries on defense. Hopefully it evens out next year.
seems like its happening all around the b10 this year. Minnesota and Michigan state also have a lot of injuries. I think every team has had good players go down this year. not at the level of Nebraska, msu, Minnesota but still crazy year
It is. I wonder how many teams would still be successful on their 3rd string MLB. My guess is not many. Thank God we have Bray
They instituted the light practice week a few weeks into the season *after* we had a truckload of dudes on injury. It was in the paper for crying out loud.
He's been on the field this year, but he hasn't played at Mike yet I don't believe.
Iowa is missing both starting tackles on offense and Drew Ott may be out with season ending injury.. Starting RB and best WR and TE have been out for a few weeks now and a ton of other injuries. Its not just Nebraska but most of the teams in the BIG are banged up. I do think Nebraska's injuries on the defensive side are hitting critical mass right now though!

Sure can, although I don't think they come more credentialed than Boyd.
Yep. Can you imagine where we'd be without Boyd? We'd be raiding the wrestling squad, baseball team and tennis team for players to fill the gaps... Cool
When you get down to your third string walkons we might feel some empathy. Until then you've got nothing to whine about. We're playing guys that shouldn't show up on the 2-deep.
Game week practices haven't had any real hitting in years.
In my opinion, they should be doing more physical practices, not less. When the body is not conditioned to what happens on Saturdays, you get injuries.. This same concept happens in other physical activity endeavors.
Curious what Boyd would have to say about it, and frankly am surprised he hasn't been interviewed by someone from the 'paper'.
