During Tressel's tenure, their players seemed to be powerful, explosive & never injured. Since Tressel's departure, the number of injuries seem to be piling up weekly.
During RR's time in Michigan, we always seemed to have people battering injuries. Since Hoke's arrival, we seem to be less injured.
Do you think there is something about the Spread that predisposes players (other then running QB's)? Is it that they run more offensive plays, thus more chance for injuries?
Discuss.
I highly doubt there is any
I have absolutely no evidence
I have absolutely no evidence to back this up, but I'd say it's mostly random. That and Hoke poops magic and gold.
Braxton
Braxton Miller in an ambulance...hate to see that. His 2nd injury today. Hope it is only for precautionary testing.

Coincidence, outside of the running QB.
Keep the change ya filthy animal.

I seem to remember Brian (or someone else on the blog, maybe Mathlete) actually looking at the rate of injuries to pocket v. running QBs, and that running QBs aren't at a greater risk of injury than pocket QBs. Basically, getting tackled by a DB while running isn't as dangerous as getting sacked by DLinemen.
No.
No.

Spread coaches do seem to
Spread coaches do seem to recruit smaller players, who would be more inclined to get injured (at least, I would think), but in this case, since Urby's still working with SweaterVest's old players, that's probably not the reason.

I seem to recall a lot of injuries in the years before RR arrived. I think it's more about how deep you are at every position, since having someone who can step in and fill the void is critical.
Christ
15 minutes before game time and halfway through the season and you put up a post like this tempting the football hating gods? Are you nuts?
Knock on wood until your knuckles bleed this very instant!
Maybe Eric Lichter can't get the good stuff anymore

Watching him walk off the field reminds me of watching my dad when his lower back is acting up. Hopefully it's just back spasms or something.

How he was injured and favoring his arm I would guess a.c. joint Sep, clavicle fx, maybe a dislocated shoulder

Was just announced
That he left the game due to a concussion.
I've thought about this myself..
I wonder what effect S&C coaches have on this. I imagine that different S&C theories and training methods make transitions more difficult, and thus make the players more susceptible to injury. Just my thoughts.

Not that I loved Rich Rod less, but that I loved Michigan more.
