Tough loss for y'all.

Hate to hear this for you guys and especially him. Sucks to work hard all off season and then have to miss a big opening game.

Well wishes in his recovery.

No disrespect to you or Kirkland, but "high level of play"?? Granted he showed a lot of promise his freshman season, but he's shown little since then. Was injured and limited last year and is now out with a knee this year for who know how long, but it really doesn't matter since our players need at least 12 months of complete bed rest to completely recover from any injury so one would assume he's going to be "limited and less than 100%" for the rest of this season thru spring ball and at least the start of fall camp next year.

From all accounts that I have heard in the spring and this fall before the injury, he was back to form, and easily the best and most consistent player on the defensive side of the ball and maybe on the entire team for that matter. He was poised for a huge season until the injury. Its extremely unfortunate for him the defense and the team.

@Boca, see?

Lol, I happen to agree 100% with Boca.
But how in the hell do you paint you or your side as the victim when someone defends their opinion after it gets poked fun at?

" we were just minding our own business, making fun of someone's post and they defended their opinion. It was horrible, when will the insanity stop???"

Do you think UT will be in the playoffs?


Hate it for the guy, MLB's can be huge in stopping GT. It normally takes a guy with very good discipline to stop GT and they also they need to be fast to get around blocks. Anyone on the roster like this?

You think highlights represent the overall play of a player?

If Jumper has not gotten MUCH more physical and he plays... UT is in trouble.

Jumper prolly not as strong as last year. He a tired dude, getting more tired every day he been here.

I just want to hear official word. If it's meniscus then it's not a long term injury and we've just got to some how get out of UF with a win.

My nephew is a starting o-lineman at Florida International Univeristy (not an elite program but still D-1 football). He tore his meniscus last season and missed exactly 6 weeks. His snaps were limited first game or two back but he was on the field after 6 weeks.

Jumper did well at middle last year.

Yeah people showing lack of football knowledge by slamming on CJ. He actually played well and we lose the Florida game without him. OF COURSE HE NOT THE ATHLETE DK IS. Reasonable people get that. And especially against GT it's more important our front 4 play with discipline anyway ESPECIALLY THE DE's. Hopefully he can be back by Florida and it's borderline embarrassing how some grown (I'm assuming their grown) men act on here with injury reports....man up and move on. I actually think some of these mental giants on here are in the corner sucking their thumbs and screaming...,,
