Awful! I feel for the kid
November 18th, 2023 at 8:06 PM ^
Terrible for the kid. Looks like a dislocated ankle but I’m no expert. I think that’s probably better than the Kevin Ware injury.
November 18th, 2023 at 8:16 PM ^
Yes, looks like a talar dislocation. Nasty.

That’s why you don't run your QB in a glorified scrimmage against North Alabama.
Hope he’s okay but this is part of why Sherrone did not run JJ today.

Somewhat related, why is it that the SEC and ACC like to throw in one of these random garbage games late in the season? Say what you want about scheduling cupcakes, but if you're going to do it, shouldn't it be to start the season so that you can get a feel for your team before you move into the actual season part of the season?

A tuneup before rivalry week.
November 18th, 2023 at 8:43 PM ^
As much as fans in both conference complain about these games, they are used as a way for them to essentially get in a slightly more difficult but theoretically manageable scrimmage before Rivalry Week. You know, a tune-up game.
Unless you are Auburn, then it just gets ugly.

Because it’s effectively a bye week for your team if you schedule an FCS cupcake late in the season. You get to rest your injured players and spend two weeks game planning for your rival.

I’m in orthopedics. He’s gonna need some major recon on that ankle.
November 18th, 2023 at 8:44 PM ^
Yikes. I’m not an orthopedic doctor but…I don’t think legs are supposed to go in that direction.

Goddamn, FS1 showed it during their halftime highlights. Horrible looking
November 18th, 2023 at 9:05 PM ^
I still think Joe's was worse on Monday Night Football. Plus they kept showing it in slow motion. Never seen that much force cause such a compound fracture of the lower leg. Probably many younger mgobloggers who do not remember this.

FSU is my second favorite team. My older brother went there and I went to a few games at Doak Campbell. I am absolutely heartbroken for Jordan Travis. He has had an up and down road at FSU, especially early on in the rebuild under Norvell. But the kid stuck it out and has become the face of that team. A real leader and a good kid. Super easy to root for him. I hate that it’s going to end this way for him at FSU. Ugh. Sports man, the highs (1000th win) and the lows (JTs injury).

Feel bad for the young man personally.

Gotta ban that tackle, the "hip drop". Defenders can bitch all they want about "how do we tackle" but that is a super dirty play. Mark Andrews suffered a similar fate on the same kind of tackle. No place for that shit in football, lets try that tackle style on the defense and see how they like snapping their legs
November 19th, 2023 at 12:41 AM ^
I completely agree. I saw it happen ABC went there live and Booger didn't see it coming. It's more dangerous than the horse collar. I predict both the NFL and college ban the Tush Push and the hip drop tackle. The Tush Push is ridiculous and the the hip drop tackle will eventually destroy careers.
November 19th, 2023 at 8:01 AM ^
With you there. And of course we know most players say they would prefer the legs get more protection than the head. I dont think that means we ban the hip drop and go lighter on head stuff either. Both need protection

I’m surprised it took this long in this thread for someone to say this. This type of tackle was completely unnecessary, and possibly intended to injure. There’s nothing stopping a dirty opponent like MSU or OSU from using this dirty tackle on one of our star players, to get them out of the game. It’s sickening. I wanted to throw up when I saw the replay.
November 18th, 2023 at 11:46 PM ^
That is horrible. Never want to see a player injured, hope he heals fast and back to 100%. On another note, Fuck Ohio!

One of the worst-looking injuries in sports history. I wish him a full and speedy recovery.
Possibly the worst I ever saw was 2010 Houston WR Patrick Edwards running into a cart in a game at Marshall. He later sued MU because why tf did they have a cart just parked on the side of the field? Just painful to watch.
November 19th, 2023 at 7:25 AM ^
that style of tackle needs to be outlawed.
November 19th, 2023 at 5:44 PM ^
Is the selection committee going to give FSU the Dennis Franklin treatment?
