Correct, for those that want source(s).
While ACL injuries can occur by a variety of mechanisms, low-energy, noncontact injuries are most common, accounting for approximately 70 percent of ACL tears [2]. Such noncontact injuries may be amenable to prevention and substantial research has been performed to elucidate the biomechanics of noncontact ACL tears and the most effective interventions to prevent them ... https://www.uptodate.com/contents/an...ears%20%5B2%5D.
This doesn't mean the practice contact didn't contribute to the injury, but to use it as an example of bad coaching just doesn't hold water. There are plenty of other cases to be made against Coach Des, but this isn't one of them.
I did not mean it as a jab to the coach. I was kind of joking because of what BWK said earlier in the year about the teams not beating up on each other during the season making them soft. I am really sorry this injury happened to Ben when it seemed that he was the answer at QB. Sorry if it offended anyone, I am rooting for Des.
He appeared to be walking around with a brace yesterday in Doak Walker. One would think if he needed surgery it would have taken place already. Maybe not as bad as we think. Might just be a strained ACL and not torn.
If CMD is to be believed the extent of Ben’s injury wasn’t known at the time of his presser. So no coverup, just inept reporting as usual.
One of my kids tore her ACL, was roughly 2 weeks between tear and surgery.
If a simple tear other factors may be in play, such as doing the procedure after this week’s game (finish regular season with teammates) or doing the procedure Wednesday where he’s is off until class Monday.
