I don't see Lemon taking over Sales spot as Nassib's

then people will complain that strategy doesn't work immediately in the first quarter. if your offense is built around wearing down a defense, you have to give them a little time to do it. people think that us scoring more as the game goes on is some weird thing when it's not

These are the people who don't watch college football. There are a lot of them around here.

Week after week you see undermanned teams hang for a half, or even 3 quarters. Then the superior team that has worn them down pulls away.

Never played football in school (one of my biggest regrets). I watched him play. He was good. Many of my friends are friends with him from CBA (I went to FM).

On a bball related note, I'll never forget watching him steal the ball, run down the court, and throw down hard on our 6'2" starting point guard on our home court. It was nasty.

Ah, I see, I never got the chance to play against him although I played against the Paulus team with Bruce an lavar, we (henninger) played you(fm) twice my senior year and we lost, but the second game was the fog game that was just crazy...

 

[OttoMets]

I didnt forget him, hes going to be out a while post surgery and I dont expect him back for at least another month if that.

With only two games played and uncertainty about how long his recuperation might take, any chance Kobena could get a redshirt?

 

[JeremyCuse]

No, once he played a snap a redshirt was lost.

 

[kcsu]

Dont forget about Foster if he can come back. Doug mentioned him as one of the top playmakers on the team.

He would have to miss the rest of the season, then apply to the NCAA for a medical hardship waiver.

Doesnt the injury have to pre date back to his Frosh season?

 

[OttoMets]

I'm not clear on the injury thing. I remember Kyle Johnson earning an extra year after playing in (I think) one game before getting hurt. Not sure if two games is too many.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

He's not looking to get a 6th year of eligibility.

He would only have to have the NCAA reclassify 2012 as a redshirt year (which would give him a 5th year), and he'll have eligibility in 2013, 2014, and 2015. He played as a true frosh in 2011.

Same thing that Taj and Lavar were granted.





14.2.4 Hardship Waiver.
A student-athlete may be granted an additional year of competition by the conference or the Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement for reasons of “hardship.” Hardship is defined as an incapacity resulting from an injury or illness that has occurred under all of the following conditions:

(a) The incapacitating injury or illness occurs in one of the four seasons of intercollegiate competition at any two-year
or four-year collegiate institution


(b) The injury or illness occurs prior to the first competition of the second half of the playing season that concludes
with the NCAA championship in that sport (see Bylaw 14.2.4.3.4) and results in incapacity to compete for the remainder of that playing season;


(c) In team sports, the injury or illness occurs when the student-athlete has not participated in more than three
contests or dates of competition (whichever is applicable to that sport) or 30 percent (whichever number is
greater) of the institution’s scheduled or completed contests or dates of competition in his or her sport. 30% of a 12 game FB season is 3.6 games, rounded up to 4.

Thanks. So that's an actual option if his rehab goes slowly.

If Flemming is back and able to play well, that wouldn't be a bad thing to pursue (depending on where the team is at that point, etc.). If we're playing well without Kobena, it might be nice to shut him down and have him coming back for three more years.

That's pretty much how Alabama has rolled lately. That is, until this year, when they've decided to just completely destroy teams in all phases of the game for all 60 minutes. It's borderline unfair.

 

[All4SU]

Sales helps Lemon...Lemon helps Sales. #1 will changed week to week.

 

[Rocco]

We have so many receiving weapons this year. Between AB and PTG out of the backfield, to Lemon in the slot to Clark, Sales, West and Kobena (Flemming when he's healthy) out wide and Wales and Stevens at TE, it isn't difficult to see why our offense has been successful this year. Couple that with Nassib's incredible play thus far, and we should continue to improve all year. We may not put up the yardage numbers the rest of the year, but our offense will not be the reason we aren't in a game.

Once Pugh is back and Hickey can slide over to RT, good lord. It will be so much fun to watch.

 

[SmilinBob]

Is it possible that Flemming could redshirt this year?

 

[CbusCuse]

Is it possible that Flemming could redshirt this year?

Yes I think his situation is prety much the same as Kobena's except Flemming has played two year already. But I assume having a sprained ankle he would be healthy enough to come back in the next few weeks. Not sure what the rules are regarding if he is injured for the first half of the season can SU then shut him down for the rest of the year and get a medical waiver?

That's what stinks is that Kobena being hurt also might push Fleming into playing which may have not been the case as there may not have been any room for Fleming to get quality time to make it worth losing the redshirt over. As you said, it's just an ankle sprain...we think...and he should be available soon. I was kind of bummed Clark didn't get more reps on Saturday.

Flemming was injured at Ft Drum. He has not played this season.

If he is unable to play at all this year, this would simply be a redshirt year for him. They wouldn't even need to apply for a waiver.

 

[SWC75]

Isn't it great to suddenly have playmakers all over the place?

The irony is that we had alot of these guys when we didn't have any playmakers.

That's the beauty of college sports. Players can mature and improve and become different, much better players than when they first showed up.

One of the people complaining about the bad starts is Doug Marrone.
