Rumblings on VQ and more. What’s the word?

Basilio said they gave him a game ball Saturday which raised some eyebrows.

This sucks

Hmm. Hopefully just a strain and can get him back for the meat of the schedule. Herring and Carter about to grow up real quick against uf and USCjr.

 

[bray2milton]

Multiple weeks. Don’t know the injury or how to link my source.

Meaning they gave it to him because he played through an injury?

Didn’t go into detail much on that. It just got people digging to see if there was a potential injury.

Like Simmons I think is October return
Pili is longer

Dang that’s basically the season. And doubt we bring him back next year for his 9th(10th?) college football season.

Also said his target date would be Georgia. We might not see him again this year.

I say let him apply for another injury rs and transfer somewhere that could use him next season. Herring and carter will be grown by uga, and we ain’t bringing this guy first game back against uga, essentially just to have him for vandy.

Wasn't he hurt last year? Older player with history. Next man. Sucks but good first game.

Awful news. Hate it for him and the team. Could be a two game swing or more.

How interchangeable are our two linebacker positions? Ie can Carter and Perry also play at that spot or are we basically down to Herring and Telander? Encouraged by what I’ve seen from E. Herring so far but this is a major blow.

Good game to get some much needed experience. They have talent.

I don’t think it’s a 2 game swing. We have some depth there that is more athletic but with less experience. It’s certainly not good but definitely not catastrophic. But that is just my opinion.

Why does that raise eyebrows?

Two game swing is kind of crazy. Good time to get arion Carter some experience who is the most talented in the room.

Man this freaking sucks. I was really looking forward to watching him and Beasley this season. We never seem to get lucky with injuries like other teams do.

 

[DavidASmithRN]

It looks like CJH said he does not expect it to be a long term injury and Pili will be out a couple of weeks

 

[KeyVol14]

This came out of nowhere. What is the injury?

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Get well soon Pili. Luckily, we have options.

This hurts our defense but doesn’t destroy our defense. We have depth. Was just hoping to not need it this early in the season.
