I'm beginning to wonder if we've exceeded a smart volume of play for college football players. The jump from high school to major college football is the most extreme, intense jump any of them will ever make. Perhaps we have too many games which leads to too many practices and so on. Maybe a manifestation is increases in injuries.

I'm unaware of any statistics on this issue but it does seem to be more common these days.
