It looked bad on the replay. I hope he's alright. He will need to be able to move agaist LSU. And the way are running game looks again they will be looking pass all the way.

Ainge is working on becoming a leader, I was glad to see him with helmet on, participating in the sideline huddles like he did, when Crompton was in.

I wouldn't mind seeing Crompton throw a deep ball one time.....He may have in one of the games he came in and done mop up duty but I've missed it if he has.....The boy is going to be good...I liked the leadership Ainge showed last night though getting in the huddle and what not after he was taken out....Showed some guts

was it suppose to be a QB run or was it a busted play? Cause if it that play was called, thats pretty stupid.

I am pretty sure it was a busted play. Ain't no way they would have called for Ainge to run it.

It honestly looked like a draw play. No clue why you would have EA running in that situation or any situation but I think he'll be okay.

I would hate to start a Freshman QB with almost no game time speed against a Defense like LSU's next week.....If that was to happen it could make for a long day....Has anyone noticed, when Ainge is doing good it always seems like our coaching staff calls something stupid and gets him hurt(not saying that's the case now, but who knows about last night's run he had)....Look at the ND game a year ago...This year he has Heismanesque numbers and then the coaches call something stupid or he decided its better to run and gets hurt....Then again, who knows about that play last night, let's just hope he's ok

Again. I don't think they called for him to run. Like it was stated before, most likely a blown draw play.

Who was the back when he got hurt?

I just heard that Ainge is going in for an MRI today. Major swelling and there is concern of a hairline fracture. My source is a major booster that's usually in the know - he's never given me bad info.

They just showed that play on the Fulmer show...

Fulmer ~ "He's got to be the worst runner in those type of plays."
Kesling ~ "This is where he hurt his ankle."
Fulmer ~ "mmph...mumble...", then he trails off not really saying anything.

Then they move on to the next play.

That isn't great news, but you can still play on a hairline fracture, can you not? (i'm not a doctor).

Ainge is a pocket passer--not a running quarterback--so as long as his mobility is still decent enough to avoid the rush (and move outside the pocket a little bit to buy time), then he is still the same player.

That said, if it affects his mobility significantly and makes him unable to avoid the rush (think drew bledsoe), then that could be a real problem.

You have to remember, the ankle is a weight bearing joint. I think at this point it is all speculatin until we hear from the MRI. Hairline fractures are very hard to see on a plain film X-Ray due to the swelling. Many times you can't see them for several days after the calcium builds up around the fracture. This is not my speciality, but I've sprained my ankle and fractured it, and it swelled tremendously within just a couple of minutes. Take that with a grain of salt; I'm only speaking from personal experience.

I am almost sure it is his right ankle which is the leg he pushes off with when he passes. I think it is safe to say even if he can play, it will really affect his passes as well as his mobility. My guess is he is done for the year as bad as I hate to say it. Hope I'm wrong.

If he really has screwed his ankle up, it'll be a while before we see him at 100% on his feet....Not saying that his performance will suffer from it but he'll not be able to move around as good as he was on his feet.....Let's just hope for the best

I would be very surprised by that.

He blamed a turf toe for last years struggles.

If the Ankle is fractured, they can't afford to let him play.
