Could someone update the uninitiated on injuries?

[Scruff]

Injuries I know of...

JaQuan Bailey - Had surgery, possibly out for season?
Kene Nwangwu - Nagging issue, who knows?
Greg Eisworth - Sat for WVU, but hopefully back for TT?
O'Rien Vance - Knocked out of game for WVU, but back for TT?

Injuries I'm possibly making up in my head...

Deshaunte Jones - DIdn't hear anything about him being injured, but saw he didn't have any catches against WVU. Seems weird for a guy that usually has 10 in a game. If injured, could explain to me why Purdy struggled slightly more than usual.

Glad we have a bye week before the OU and Texas games.

kene is fine just wasnt his day per hc
greg and vance are fine; day to day and should/will play for ttu

bailey probably out for the year

jones must have been taken away but is fine

I don't think Deshaunte is hurt. But he was only targeted twice, both incomplete. My super amateur observation would say WVU focused on him as the priority to shut down, and they did quite well.

Perhaps someone who can re-watch and/or w/ more insight of coverages can confirm or explain?

I have a toe injury. Not sure if it’s an ingrown nail, but it’s the upper left corner of my right big toe, just really sore. If the blankets get too heavy on it the pain is terrible. I’d google it, but webmd would just tell me I have cancer....

Your amateur observation was better than mine, I didn't notice he was targeted.

I'd love to hear more on if WVU was focusing on him. Perhaps he was Purdy's first read and constantly covered. It would explain both their abnormal performances. I vote for someone smart to re-watch and determine if that's what was going on.

Hall showed he will be fantastic as our every down back! Kene showed us earlier in the season that he has a particular set of skills that I'd love to see more of. A few times a game when we catch other teams off guard.

Jones had bracket coverage or over under double coverage all game. They made us use other options. Pettway was great, the TE's all looked good. Scates got a TD, Milton dropped a TD but still looked good. Overall was a good performance especially with Hall getting over 100 yards.

Kene has a severe case of butterfingers.

He did yesterday anyway.

Should have caught that pick 6 but that must have bounced off of 3 players before the actual INT.

It's a good sign that he was out there early...his speed will be vital.

Found this quote on 247. I'll rest easier now. Thanks everyone for the updates!

CAMPBELL ON THE HEALTH OF GREG EISWORTH, O'RIEN VANCE

"I think both will be fine, I really do. O’Rien tried to go out there and he’ll be ready to roll. Greg I would say literally is day-to-day. He was able to practice a little bit toward the end of the week, we just didn’t feel comfortable he was ready to go play in a game right now."

It’s like you’re not even worried about my toe...

An announcer yesterday said that Bailey actually broke his leg - if so he should use his red-shirt this year and come back stronger next season!

It seemed like LP was running the routes that DJ usually runs. Alot of short and underneath stuff. Wonder if the coaches knowing that DJ was double covered used him as a decoy.

Kene has a severe case of butterfingers.

Yeah, he was the guy that dropped the pass and then tipped it up in the air high enough that someone 5 yards away had a chance to catch it. He has shown really good hands in the past, so I will brush it off as an anomaly. He is still a guy that can do a lot of damage on the outside run. Just not tuned in yesterday for some reason.

Pretty much what you have to do if you want to win. They are giving you an extra blocker or an open receiver depending on how you want to play it as an Offensive Coordinator.

Suck it up buttercup

The whole offense was not tuned in either...he just happened to have the ball thrown at him during that time while WV was flying around a bit.

I cheated and looked through the game notes on cyclones.com.

Wondering if Vance was a slight concussion.

does that require surgery? he's already used his red shirt
