Jacobs broke off a 60 yard run. Do people even watch the game?

He didn’t do that! He tweeted about himself, THEN ran into the coat rack.

Run the wishbone. Harris at FB with Najee and Jacobs at TB. Jalen at QB. Heck, maybe run a WR at TB - Waddle or JJ.

-Tua should be close to 100% by the 29th but the staff is fully ready to commit Jalen to the game and run a “soul crushing” run game like Army. 


If your implying they are considering benching a healthy Tua for Jalen, I'm not buying.

I'm not clear what your saying. Are you saying the staff has confidence in Halen should Tua not be ready?

Amusing how pissed off the team is after beating one of the two or three best teams in the country.

Definitely improvements to be made, but Georgia is a better team than Oklahoma and will have been a tougher game.

They're going to be cutting it close on Tua. It took Hurts four weeks to be able to come back from that surgery and play in a game, and he definitely wasn't 100%.

It’s almost like different injuries have different recovery times!

Not implying that at all. Jalen is ready if Tua can’t go.

Maybe, but I believe they had the same procedure. So it's not unreasonable to use one as a guide.

The guy is wheeling around right now. If you want to think he's going to be 100% in three weeks, go right ahead.

They probably bringing it out of the boot to work it and atuff too. You would be surprised how much you lose with 1-2 weeks immobile. My calves was the size of my forearm when I came out and I'm mostly a lower body guy.

After I could start PT it wasn't too bad. I was surprised at how well I could do sports related movements but still walk with a limp.


He played most of the year hurt. He's a baller. Just needs about 90% and stay out of trouble in the pocket.

If he had time to recalibrate for the bad ankle , he probably hits some of those INTS.

every second he can stay off that foot early on is going to help with his recovery. He's gonna be fine, remember how Jalen looked like a decrepit old man at practice and then played and looked fine at Auburn, and then looked fine mobility wise against Georgia

Tua said he would be ready and that’s good enough for me

He also said he was 100% for the Auburn game and he clearly wasn't. Not slamming the kid, but he's an athlete.

How many are going to admit they aren't really ready to go?

I thought he looked fine for Auburn. Heck the first TD was a designed Qb run. No brace....he was fine

From all reports they said his injury wasn’t as bad as Jalen’s was. Jalen was ready in 3-4 weeks while practicing for most of that time . Tua basically has a month off before the game and two weeks off with therapy / no practice . I think it is way too early to write him off

i just hope our defense gets it together enough to hit oklahoma. been watching some of their highlights. murray never gets hit. sheesh, their rb seldom gets hit. drug down mostly, not hit. if bamas defense actually hits them, it would be interesting to see their response. just one mans observation
