No news is bad news... normally we get biweekly updates on injured guys.... such as "he's down to one crutch, this week he was doing some light sprints, this week he was back doing some lower body, " etc etc...

I've heard jack shite about Keith. This is bad.


Murray was hurt after Keith, but is already 100% and cutting and full practice and is on an NFL roster... Marshall hasn't even seen a practice field.


I am worried for Marshall.


I know Chubb and Michel, but Keith is a DGD and I don't want to see him go out this way.

Is anyone hearing that he's making progress?

Not after spring practice ends. Most of the players are home for a few weeks post-exams and before classes start again in June.

Marshall was running and cutting in a green jersey this spring. All reports are that he'll be ready for fall camp.

There's no practices right now. How could there be news about anyone? KM was limited participating during spring practices, just not full contact. Last I read he'll be ready to go by season start.

First of all, Murray is not actually 100% yet. Secondly, the two positions in question could not be any more contrasting in terms of ways to mask a major knee injury. Not to mention that Murray has had the benefit of multiple professionals working with him from NFL backgrounds and Marshall has had to rely on Ron Courson to get him back. Granted the team physicians at UGA are far from anything to sneeze at; but the doctors Murray has had exposure to is on another level entirely. Lastly, they are actually different injuries. Murray had a non contact clean tear of the ACL, whereas Marshall needed full reconstruction of 2 ligaments (ACL & MCL) in order to make a full recovery.

Hopefully he's ready DGD and we could use him in our backfield with the 3 others that's gonna carry his offense

Even when he does come back he probably won't be the same back. That was a pretty devatating knee injury and while I can't predict the future I think he'll probably lose a step or two. Maybe not though.

Ooouch...My knee hurts now. Last I heard he should be ready for fall camp but he may decide to redshirt.

I don't know if that would be a great idea with the talent coming in but who knows he may be able to hold his own. IMHO we won't see him actually play until after the first quarter of the season. They'll want to be careful not to aggrevate the injury.

Cheap shot by UT corner.

KM's QB kind of left him exposed with the way he delivered the pass to him.

I've said this on here before, but that was a basic read for Murray. It was basically a two on one, and 99 times out of 100 the CB follows the deep man. On that play, the corner made a mistake and let the receiver go free. Unfortunately, Murray didn't expect it and Marshall was the unlucky guy on the end of the throw.

It was basically the same play we had the big play to Marshall on against USCe.

I actually disagree. What choice has the NCAA given defensive players but to go low to avoid a possible ejection from the game? I think the UT CB did what he was supposed to do. Keith just unfortunately got injured as a result. Could the UT CB have gone for the waist instead of the knee? Sure, but KM has made better defensive players look silly for doing so. Football is a contact sport and injuries are often a byproduct.

I don't think it was a cheap shot either. KM is about 220 lbs, maybe 225. That corner was 180 max. He's coming up to make a tackle, not only trying to not get kicked out, but also to not bounce off and miss the tackle.

I've been there. I don't blame him for going low. It was just unlucky that Marshall got hurt. It didn't look at all malicious to me.

Way too low for my liking.

Marshall had his back turned receiving a pass and the defender ran thru Marshall right AT the knee.

It's not like Marshall had a head full of steam running straight at the guy. Didn't wrap up either. NO question it was a cheap shot.

Agree to disagree. JStan is right, the NCAA has really limited what defenders can do and hitting someone too high is always in the back of their mind.

There's approx. a 4 ft. distance between your knee and your head.

Defender went too low.

If he does that to Jalen Hurd at practice, I promise you, he will be given t-total hell from his coaches.

He went where he was taught. You can't go high so the next best play to go to get him to the ground is the knee and below. It was a heat of the moment type play and I don't blame him at all. Was just making sure he brought Marshall to the ground because he's a hard guy to bring down in space.
