Hate to see that. I think he was one that mark said may red shirt?

Yep, I think that was the plan. Still sucks to have 3 WRs go down with torn ACLs in camp. (4 going back to the spring with Barnes- hybrid WR/TE)

Time to bubble wrap the WRs! It's unfortunate but these injuries always happen. Hopefully the injury bug will move on once the season starts.

Bingo! The same could be said for Butler last season. I think many people will be surprised by our WR play this season with a QB who can deliver the ball accurately and on time.

I also expect to see on this board praise for the WR play and little credit to the QB play. But that's just my opinion based on the feel of some who post on here.

If you want Haack to get credit for pass plays... and be exhaulted on RP... all you have to do is cut him down on here. The people you argued with last year don't have a stinking clue about whether it's the QB or the WRs that make a particular play work or not. And BTW Scott is looking great in practice according to Hud. I can't help but think the deep ball is getting delivered. And I'm very happy to hear that both QBs are passing well... even though from Hud's sheepish grin we all know that he has selected, privately, a starter for Kentucky.

Yes, it does suck. I hope it's a sign that our defensive secondary is massively more physical than we've had prior. As someone pointed out, it is time to bubble wrap the remaining WRs. I'm sure Hud and Jay are discussing this with the WRs and the defense.

That's true. If Haack was from Turlings or STM it would be a different story.

I can't access twitter at work. Anyone care to give me a clue on who it is? Thanks.

Jarrod Jackson

Cajuns freshman receiver Jarrod Jackson is out for the year after tearing his ACL a couple days ago. Was on crutches at practice today.

Jalen Nixon was held out of practice today for an "internal issue." Hudspeth said he's still part of the two-man QB battle.

I'm unfortunately way to familiar with ACL tears. Many are non-contact injuries. Most often they are due to leg muscles not being strengthened and developed properly. In particular ham strings. The other big factor though is fatigue. I'm not talking long term fatigue but rather short term fatigue. For example if a WR runs a fifty yard fly route he really needs two to three minutes to recover afterwards. If you don't get that your muscles simple can't support the knee properly. Next play you run a route in the slot. You make a sudden stop and cut in to the left while your knee keeps going forward. Classic ACL tear scenario.

Such a devastating injury because proper recovery requires surgery and nine months of rehab.
