Eddie Lacy sprained knee and twists ankle Edit. Rumor of acl tear.
Originally reported as a sprain but there are rumors of an acl tear.

Edit. I can not find anything definitive.

So you would be disappointed
So you would be disappointed if Nick Saban suffered a massive heart attack during the game, died on the field and Alabama forfeited? I probably wouldn't. Especially if the heart attack happened right after a long Denard TD.

You can't throw out the impossible
Everyone knows that Saban doesn't have a heart.

Is this RCMB? Of course we'd be disappointed. Nick Saban is a human being with friends and a family that loves him. There's more to life than football.

I could pretend that I wanted to play against him, but to be honest...I do not at all...
However, hearing about injuries for any player is always really sad... This year was his chance to be the 'next man' in line at Bama.... Here's to a quick recovery, Eddie...

I wont lie..
TJ Yeldon scares me just as much behind that offensive line
Also bothers the shit out of me that chances are pretty high we see Dee Hart rush against us.. I hope we bottle him up.

True but he is still a freshman
Running the ball sometimes is the easy part. It is the blocking and picking up blitzes that can sometimes get young RBs in trouble.
Yeldon's advantage is that he was an early enrollee though.

#17
Sad to hear. hope he recovers
That said, TJ Yeldon is good but he has to sit at some point and it gives us an advantage to not have to face a fresh Lacy when he does

Isn't a Yeldon a true freshman making his career debut against us? People are talking about him like he's a proven commodity.

he had almost 200 all purpose
he had almost 200 all purpose yards (90 rushing 88 receiving) in the Bama spring game.
While this is not a proven commodity, that speaks volumes to his talent and ability.

Are we really counting spring

What part of "this is not a proven commodity" did you not understand?
And yes, I count true freshman stats from spring as an indicator of their ability, especially when they are 5 star talent that was heavily scouted playing on a team known for defense.

I thought Dee Hart already
I thought Dee Hart already tore his ACL a few months ago and is likely out for the season. Maybe I'm remembering that wrong, or he recovered quickly...

ACL recovery
Running backs have returned 12 months after surgery, but it usually takes longer to regain explosiveness...

Spring injury
If I recall correctly Hart injured his ACL during spring practice 2011. He should be ready to play and get hit by Jake Ryan.

I believe Dee
has been converted to receiver. Not sure where he is on the depth chart.

If you put any stock into their official site, he's still listed as a RB on there.

Ouch...
Looks like we're both having RB problems. I hope he gets well soon, because he's a beast.

Well with that OLine.....I am almost positive some of us could run for at least 50 yds by accident.
Now with that being said we would be in a full body cast at the end of the day. but 50 yds is 50 yds.

Yeldon
Yeldon was supposedly having a great camp and they were going to split carries.
This doesn't really change much, especially at RB where freshman can make an instant impact easier than QB or OL.
Tough break for Bama, heart goes out to Lacy.
August 19th, 2012 at 9:44 PM
#36
Yet we all freak out
when Fitz may not play.
I do agree it is better than replacing a QB or OL.

Even if Lacy's out, Saban's
Even if Lacy's out, Saban's going to have another stud back there toting the rock. I heard their freshman, TJ Yeldon, looked real good in spring ball.
Dee Hart should also be fully recovered for them, too. They'll be just fine w/o Lacy. Still, never like to hear about those kinds of injuries. I hoped he'd be out there on the field. I don't want there to be any excuses when we beat them.
August 19th, 2012 at 11:19 PM
#45
Yeah I agree this is
Yeah I agree this is relatively irrelevant because Sabans gameplan is not going to change. On offense he is going to run the ball right at our D-line and then work some dink and dunk high percentage stuff for McCarron either out to the flat or play action over the top of our linebackers. On defense he will be playing a lot of man to man coverage, stacking the box against whoever and Denard. Denard is going to have to make them pay throwing the ball downfield.

I hope they've become adept at grabbing jump balls like Hemingway did so frequently... Otherwise, get ready for a few interceptions.
