So funny how Heupel does this. I love so many things about him and add his managing of lineups to the list. Awesome coaches are looking for every shred of an advantage they can get. Heupel is incredibly similar to Bill Belichick in the way he keeps everything close to the vest.
Maze had a really significant surgery to repair multiple hernias at the end of August. Hope all was literally telling the media a week after the procedure he thought Knows was good to go but we’d have to see. Lol. His ass knew for absolute certain he was going to be out for 6+ weeks. Lol.
Truthfully, we won’t even know if Newton is good to go until the first offense of snap of the game. I would expect he is because he was able to come back and play the second half etc.. But as we were watching the game we knew he would be getting an MRI and there was a chance something would turn off. Guys will get partial tears of MCL or LCL’s, and (on the rare occasion even an ACL) and continue playing the game they were injured in at times.
So, there’s a chance something could’ve turned up on the MRI. But if so, I Heuple would be playing it exactly as he has played the mays injury. We wouldn’t know until the first nap of the game, and afterwards he would say yeah… Just couldn’t go today. We expect him to be back next week. Lol
