Brock needs to get healthy. He gets reinjured every time he plays.
I’d just shut Brock down the next couple weeks and let him get all the way healthy. Let him possibly play vs. TCU if the game is a matter of bowl eligibility.
Think Brock has to come back now next year. I’m good with the exact group we have for next years group. Silas looks like he’s grown a bit this year too.

His new injury cant be good. It was right in front of me and I exclaimed “eff”!. He didn’t put any weight on it coming off the field. Very concerned about him.
It reminded me of an injury in had when I was young. I was carrying the ball and when I was tackled my leg was also restricted somewhat like his. It hurt in the moment and I couldn't put weight on it either. Turned out it was fine and no tear. I played 10 days later.
No idea what his status is, but this made it seem less severe than it looked initially.
It looked very serious, along with not putting any weight on it he was taken off the sideline on a cart.
But, after halftime he was back out with his helmet on and reporting to the huddle each time, appeared capable of playing if needed, but didn't play in the second half. As the end of the game approached he had his helmet off along with the other backs and was smiling and laughing, appeared completely normal. Doesn't mean he'll be ready to go next Saturday obviously, but at least didn't appear to be as serious as it initially appeared.
I remember the next game against Texas Tech he caught a swing pass and just ran by people. It was at that moment I knew this guy is a star.
Looks like we have the makings of a solid 3 man rotation. Norton as primary, Brock as your 3rd down type but more reps and Silas as a between the 30s guy. If Sama ends up at RB he could be the speed guy with some swivel that Sanders isn't.
He’s definitely not. Was at the game yesterday and looked like he came up limping/hurting after a few different plays but stayed in the game and gutted it out.
Looked like it unfortunately. Didn’t see him back in the game after that. So likely more than just a cramp.
Also wondering about the status of Malik Verdon?
Malik had surgery recently. Done for the year.
Norton was a hoss on that play: He made contact with the defender at the 1 yard line, the defender ended up on his butt 1 yard in the endzone.
Hard to catch and run when ball comes at your knees. He could have dove and caught it for no gain. So i would say both he and Hunter need to work on catch and run ball placement. The screen pass was people out of place and he not knowing where to be as the ball was thrown beyond his linemen, who are supposed to lead him, but I think WVA LB disrupted the play.
