This is why I believe the rb by committee approach is the best for college running backs.

Les has lost control of Nick's abuse of his players.

NFL tightening their drug testing policy, I see.

I thought this was common knowledge?
Steroids allow your body to get away with a lot that it normally wouldn't be able to and it comes back to bite you later on.

I saw courtny upshaw lay out Eddie lacy last week. We gotta stop hurting each other once we get to the pros.

What exactly is Alabama doing differently that is alleging causing more injuries? Alabama substitutes about as much as any team, so it doesn't seem like a gameplay thing. Is it the practices? I haven't heard that Alabama's practices are particularly physical compared to others. Is it excessive strength and conditioning? Is it that Alabama recruits players more willing to give it their all in college to win championships than other teams? What do you think it is?
ETA: I see - some people think it is steroid use at Alabama. Interesting theory.

Well yea of coarse if you stop taking them. You lose a lot of muscle, plus much lower testosterone, which makes it much harder to build muscle natural. I have found out the hard way.

Nick uses them, over-practices them, encourages them to stay the whole 4/5 years, and then loses their number when they go pro.
I have no idea if that is true or not, but it sounds like a great SEC RANT Narrative, so I'm sticking with it.

"seems" "maybe" "many" (unnamed or enumerated)
Solid scientific reporting by ESPN.

Lacy averaged 14.5 carries per game last year for Bama.
In the three games he has been available the whole game for GB this year, he has had 23, 23, and 14 carries.
Julio missed no games in 2012 and had 79 catches on 129 balls thrown to him, for 1198 yards. So a guy who is healthy for all of 2012, then gets injured in 2013, but somehow it's related to college?
Lame article.

There was an interview I read with Lacy that was done right after the draft, and he talked about this a little bit.
quote:
For anyone worried, Lacy points to practices at Alabama. On the scout team, he was a punching bag. One play, on a blitz, Javier Arenas drilled Lacy's AC joint. Someone on the sideline stuffed a pad over the tender shoulder, tapped Lacy on the back and sent him back in for seconds.
"Unless you were dead or your leg was physically broken or something like that," Lacy says, "there was no way to get out of practice."
At Alabama, this was the culture. Play through pain or lose your spot. There's always another player in waiting. And Lacy, linebacker Nico Johnson repeats, is "all business." If he doesn't speak with a passion, he plays with a passion. By midseason last fall, when Alabama's good-not-great ground game was a concern, Johnson remembers telling Lacy to "play with a purpose."
