Notre Dame’s victory over the Spartans (33-30) may prove to be more costly than originally thought. As The Matador reported earlier, Michael Floyd will miss the remainder of the season with a broken collar bone. Now there is question as to the extent of Jimmy Clausen’s toe injury. During the second quarter of Saturday’s game, Clausen took a bad sack and landed awkwardly on his right foot. Throughout the remainder of the game, he walked with a limp but was...
Arizona has lost all Pac-10 tight end Rob Gronkowski for the season. The 6’6, 265 lb. junior injured his back during a weight training session a few weeks before the start of the season and hasn’t played in a game for the Wildcats this year. He is scheduled to undergo surgery to repair the damage done to his back. Arizona has been lackluster on offense so far this season as a result of not having Gronkowski. Wildcat QB Nick Foles,...
Star Notre Dame wideout Michael Floyd will more than likely miss the rest of the 2009 football season with a broken collarbone. No solid timetable has been set for his return as of now but it would be highly optimistic to say that he will even make it back in time should Notre Dame get invited to a bowl game. Floyd underwent surgery early this morning in South Bend to repair his collarbone which was broken in Saturday’s win...
Matt Grothe will no longer lead the charge for the South Florida Bulls. During their total dominance over Charleston Southern (59-0), Grothe suffered an ACL tear. At first, Grothe’s injury was thought to be a knee sprain, but after further tests, his injury was diagnosed as an ACL tear. The loss really hurts the Bulls, Grothe is the leader of the squad and an irreplaceable player. With Gorthe going down, it will make winning the Big East title that...
Not that Elon had a chance to beat Wake Forest today, but the Phoenix weren’t expecting the zebras to pitch in on behalf of the Demon Deacons. In the second quarter of Wake’s 35-7 victory, WR Chris Givens was running a deep out with CB Karlos Sullivan keeping stride-for-stride with Givens. Then all of sudden, ooops, back judge Tommy Pace inadvertently tripped Sullivan. As Sullivan dropped, Givens stood wide-open and Riley Skinner hit Givens for a 54 yard touchdown...
Dr. Bob dissects the VaTech v. Nebraska game: #13 VIRGINIA TECH (-5.0) 29 #19 Nebraska 24 3:30 PM (EST) Saturday, Sep-19 VIRGINIA TECH (-5) 29 Nebraska 24 I wasn’t a big fan of Virginia Tech heading into the season, as their offense was worse than average last season and appeared to be worse than average heading into this season. My beliefs were confirmed in the Hokies’ game against Alabama, as Tech managed just 157 total yards on 3.1 yards per...
