If Im not mistaken Matt T is also injured! THis make our LB spot very thin. Lets hope this is an opportunity for someone big to step up, that all there is to that.
Jake Knott broke his arm

Isn't Matt T always injured?
I'm sorry, but he's been nothing but a big disappointment both on and off the field IMO. I wouldn't mind George beating him out at all.
Hopefully this and not that. But no kidding; fast healing Jake wish you the best come back and pound someone.
no argument here; but he was good enough to start last year and would have probably started this year. Which means he was probably the best option.:skeptical:
Yup. unless fractures through the joint surface, and then they have potential to be nightmares.
Jake Knott says that he plans to be running & lifting weights on Monday. Obviously those lifts will not be with his right arm.
Agreed.
I'm even more intrigued by Miller though. In three months of conditioning workouts and 14 practices, he transformed himself from a HS senior, who just a few months prior played small-school Iowa Class A football, to playing 1st team LB in the spring game and arguably holding his own, save for head-to-head against KO, the best OL in the Big 12. I for one am eagerly anticipating seeing in the season opener how four more months of conditioning and greatly expanded practice time in the fall will further develop this kid.
A big disappointment? Maybe in the sense that any and all injuries are disappointing.
He was a late JuCo signee- him being nothing but a big disappointment is a you problem imo.
He was a starter last year before being injured, and will provide valuable bulk to the position this year. He really brings it on blitzes.
I do not understand your last comment. Why do you want George to be the better player? You like the way he looks in a uniform? If George is better, I hope he plays.
Great post. Miller looked the part all the way around, awesome.
I saw KO picking Miller up from his back 9 yards down field on one play. Steel sharpening steel, loved it!
I heard that Thursday's practice after Jake Knott got hurt was the first time that Miller really went head-to-head against KO. He was pancaked in practice too. He'd think he was going to get by him and KO could club him in the side of the helmet with his long arms. I'm sure Miller won't be the only Big 12 LB who KO pancakes this year. Give the kid credit for getting right back up, shaking it off, and getting ready to bring it again on the next play.
Just how tough is KO? Even his shoes can't contain him!
Good to hear he's going to be ready in the fall. Of course I wouldn't be heart broken if he got a stomach bug the week of the Iowa game and had to sit that game out. But obviously glad he's not going to lose his season. Kid's a player.
Great news!!
