Injury Report

[Nick44]

Am I missing anyone?

Season-ending -
Elmore
S. Thompson
I. Jones
Lockett (assuming)

Expected back -
J. Carter
McDonald
J. Barron

Averaging one loss starter for the year per game is not sustainable for this program.

 

[PhatOrange]

Simmons did not play last night the defensive end.

I don't think Barron was injured , i think he was disqualified for targeting

Yes. May have to miss first half vs Wagner

 

[mlbball99]

Simmons and Kevon Darton were in boots.

also Alijah Clarke got hurt

clark was able to return to the game so maybe ankle sprain?

 

[Cuse181]

Injuries happen, S&C team probably needs to go but Syracuse is not the only team this happen to even though it seems like it.

Darton in boot too?

 

[OrlandoCuse]

Yes. May have to miss first half vs Wagner

I thought they got rid of that rule?

So many questions

1. Do we know why sparrow played over McDonald? Sparrow’s stat line was tremendous.

2. Was Darton hurt too? I knew about Lockett and Clark.

3. Any confirmation on whether Barron has to sit a half for the targeting? I know it’s Wagner but I’m curious whether the targeting penalty changed or not.

The change in the targeting rule is now that post-game the conference/team can appeal the targeting call so the player does not have to sit the first half of the following game. Not sure if its happened yet or not.

Just in case you may not have seen it. An Oregon player was ejected for targeting with exactly the same play as Barron. Crown of the helmet to the chest, no contact to the head. The announcers noted that they were told at the beginning of the season that this was a hit the officials were going to be looking for to get eliminated as it is so dangerous to player lowering his head.

It's honestly a good thing. IIRC it's to protect the tackler not the ball handler.

Yes, exactly the danger is to tackler lowering their head creating potential for head, neck, and back injuries to themselves.

 

[upperdeck]

and yet the play on the kick off where the Virg kid dove head first like a missile was not called targeting.

Yep that’s what I can’t rap my head around, I thought that was the worst of the three.

Wouldn’t these non-hits to the head like Barrons and Pena’s be called spearing then. Did they just rename the old rule? Peña was definitely spearing.

 

[Finwad32]

I’ve seen two players (who were delivering the blow) go completely limp after coming into contact with the crown of their helmet. Both regained feeling, but sustained serious injuries.

I’ll be a proponent of these flags/ejections forever.

That guy is lucky he didn't paralyze himself with that hit. You can see on the replay how his neck compressed.
I thought that was exactly what the rule is to try to prevent.

 

[Orangeman]

It's honestly a good thing. IIRC it's to protect the tackler not the ball handler.

And the rules have actually done a good job of long-term reducing these types of collisions, PARTICULARLY the really dangerous "blow-up the defenseless receiver" stuff.

Like how there are no more buddy-pass game-enders in lacrosse anymore (which is good).

The players are too big fast and strong now

 

[Trueblue25]

These are kids and sometimes they gotta be saved from themselves. All for that type of targeting call and glad they’re both alright

 

[GoSU96]

JCarter didn’t dress for the second half

JCarter didn’t dress for the second half

I’m guessing we may find out more on Wednesday’s podcast.
