Wooldridge Injured

I wonder WTH happened. Were they allowing full QB contact in practice this time of the year? Maybe Des listened to the head RPCA coach and let them pound each other in practice so they would be good on game day. At least BWK will have something to scream about on the post-game RR podcast.

RPO drill...knee popped...

Ben was limping after some of the dirty illegal hits during the USM game. Probably when he got popped hard during a slide

LOL, but Cory Diaz didn't see anything wrong with him at practice. OK

Dude is a idiot!

[JMV JustMyView]

Diaz has been a clown the day he got appointed the UL beat writer

Yep. Boy I miss Josh's reporting.

You're right Dave. UL fan doesn't need to be informed. UL fan doesn't deserve to be informed. As long as they have their hardcore legion of 5000 blind followers they will be just fine. Everybody else can suck it. God bless.

BWK sources suck! Listen to the folks on this site that have the correct information!

So I just got word from a source not named Mullet that Ben supposedly hurt his knee at some point.

Have you ever considered becoming a beat writer?

That is quite the scoop there.

Most ACL's are torn on non contact movements.

His was contact.

Lineman was blocking a linebacker that fell into Ben’s knee. Ben was in a non contact jersey.

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.
