Matt Darr

It's definitely spranged

Sprain will put you out 2 weeks, only one if we're lucky. It also depends, some people can roll their ankles like that and walk away. I did it the other day mowing the yard, though I wasn't coming down from a bounce.

That would have been just a five yard penalty and not an automatic first down but I do agree that was missed call

Hitting the non-kicking leg is usually a 15-yarder... because it's so much more dangerous to the kicker.

And why were they actually trying to block a punt down 31 with 1:30 left?

 

[Insunseri]

I used to punt in high school, and I sprained my ankle once. It was at least a week before I could kick again.

Thought this was pretty classless by the Utah St player. Why risk injuring another player in that situation?

Also their coach is an idiot. Why you would risk CK being in down 31 is beyond me. He is the only chance you have a good season. It made me mad FOR Utah State fans.

Who is the back up punter?

Trevor Daniel from Dickson, TN

 

[T Vols 21]

Praying for the kid.

 

[Biopsyman]

Dooley recruit

 

[Aesius]

Jones said he's okay.

 

[ETV]

Looked far worse though.

 

[UTodd01]

He's fine per CBJ.

My ankle would have snapped like a twig in that situation.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Darr is much improved from last year.

 

[CANNONVOLRUN]

Replay in slow motion looked bad...hope it's not too bad.

 

[tdbigorange11]

It looked like he just rolled his ankle. iirc it bent in and not out, which is good news. I played high school sports and had bad ankles so this happened to me a few times. I could play a week later but it wasn't 100% for a few weeks. Hopefully they give him one week to rest it.

 

[jimallvol]

You were right.
Feel better now?

No kidding!

I was wondering the same thing. The game is over. No need to risk injury at that point. Of course their coach left the QB in when he was obviously hurt long after the game was decided.

I think they were really hoping for a garbage touchdown or two to make the score look a little more respectable in order to salvage as much of the buzz around Chuckie and USU as possible. Also, Matt Darr is a tough mf'r, I was sure his ankle was toast after watching that replay. I was shocked when he got up and walked it off.
