Caleb Bacon injury

[madguy30]

That’s at least explained in my opinion. He is playing his his natural position.

How is him playing special teams not natural?

The one thing about building a program like Matt has done is your freshman and sophomore’s that are coming up in the program can play special teams not your potential first team all Big 12 linebacker.

I remember Louisiana returning a punt and kickoff for touchdowns when we played our backups on special teams.

 

[madguy30]

Caleb is good, but first team all Big 12 linebacker is a pretty big stretch.

In one day we've seen it go from 'the LBers sucked last year' to 'but he was a First Team All B12 LB!' because he got hurt.

See, now we're getting somewhere.














And by somewhere, I mean an area code.

Im just saying are we not in a position as a program to not have a potential first team all Big 12 player playing punt coverage? That should be handled by freshman and sophomore’s looking for playing time.

It's a good thing we didn't do that then

Can Malik Verdon at 6'4" and 220 play LB? Seems like one of our safeties may need to change positions.

How has this historically gone?

What do we complain about if he gets hurt playing defense?

"Shouldn't have been close enough to have him out there after the 1st."

1st could mean quarter, series, down, or play.

I’m not expecting him to play another snap this season.

Dumb, you don't know $hit

 

[GT25Ump]

He’s done.

You don't know $hit about the situation so shuddup

Apparently not?

Are you saying Caleb Bacon isn’t a potential first team all Big 12 player? Based on what I have read the coaches disagree.

 

[AllInForISU]

I’m not a coach and don’t claim to be one, but why is one of our best defenders playing punt coverage?

Will McDonald was on the kickoff team, and maybe punt team but not sure about that one, while he was the stud edge rusher. Campbell has always done stuff like that.

If you have to put the heart and soul of D on special teams you got problems

Bacon is a good player. He is not the heart and soul of our defense. Chill the **** out.

Are you....basing this off of the August hype articles?

Let's start there.

That is EXACTLY what I am saying

Historically we complain about most things

Especially after all other other would be starters are hurt

People can’t have an opinion?

I remember Louisiana returning a punt and kickoff for touchdowns when we played our backups on special teams.

Kick and punt coverage in the Louisiana game looked like day 1 of practice of 7th grade football.
