These injuries suck this early in the season.
stupid game, stupid injuries.. just embarrassing
I'm not sure if the injury rate, especially in regards to ACLs, on the newer turf is higher or lower than older turfs, but if it is higher, I would take a look at the type of cleats first. Unfortunately, ACL injuries are an easy injury to obtain in many sports due to the natural design of the knee.
I know a few people have posted that Radunz can't get a medical year. I was under the assumption that he could apply for a hardship after his senior year. Wasn't this the path Vraa took to get his 6th year? I thought he redshirted as well, and not due to injury....
