Does UT have more injuries then the rest of the SEC every year?

[WA_Vol]

If Justin Harrell, Inky Johnson, and Ainge don't get injured, UT is most likely undefeated this year. Every season it seems UT's season gets spoiled because of a few key injuries.

Does the rest of the SEC have as many injuries?
Is it the aggressive style of defense UT plays, the conditioning program that causes this?

 

[OWB]

I'm going with yes..

 

[VolinArizona]

I'm going with no. Much like the arrests, we hear less about the other schools.

 

[OWB]

I'm going with no. Much like the arrests, we hear less about the other schools.

I would say that's most likely the case..

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Overall I'd say no but it seems like our injuries are always to our key guys.

 

[VolTSX23]

I'm going with no. Much like the arrests, we hear less about the other schools.

I would completely agree. It seems to me that we do have a lot of injuries, but we do not hear about all the injuries other teams have.

everyone has injuries. more or less...it's year to year.

our problem this year is we dont have the depth to fill those positions when guys go down.

that's the biggest change from year's past. i'm used to us just plugging guys in and pressing on.

now injuries to key skill position players...that's where you walk a fine line. if you have a RB like OK's Adrian Peterson that goes down, that's huge. If you have a qb like Ainge for us go down that's also huge.

but more times than not...we should have depth at every other position to compensate for this attrition.

amen.....depth!!

No sir, we take that prestigious honor year in and year out.

I said no. It seems that living here in Athens, I see UGA as well and they are suffering a rash o injuries this year as well. It has just about descimated their O-Line.

 

[exotic_vols]

I say no, you went to any other school fanblog , and people would complain about the injury too.

Good thing you have all your super tough starters healthy so that they can sit at home during bowl season every year.

 

[HogWild]

I'd say no. Everyone gets banged up...for example; McFadden was hurt at the beginning of the year along with Casey Dick, Freddie Fairchild is out for the year along with Michael Grant, Peyton Hillis has been shook up some, Olujubutu sat out a game and still wasn't full speed last week.
