Willis

[cuseguy]

A bit surprised there hasn’t been more talk about Willis and his sudden absence from the depth chart. It’s not a good sign that he’s already sidelined with an injury after just two games. It goes without saying that he needs to be a workhorse if we’re going to get it 6 or 7 wins or more. And while he may still meet that expectation, it’s concerning to see him sidelined this early.

I think it's just precautionary due to who were playing. We don't need Willis against Colgate.

He got his bell rung after a play last week. I think video was posted here someplace but I watched him on sideline. Whether he was concussed or not, I have no clue but he was stunned trying to shake it off

This is a sound decision. Unlike Babers playing Sean Tucker in the Wagner game when he got banged up earlier that year. To add insult to injury, he put Tuck in the Wagner game to start the second half when we were up +40. I believe Babers wanted him to set the SU single-game rushing record. Instead, Tuck got banged up again in the second half and he was never 100% the rest of the year. He had ankle, calf and foot injuries and just didn't have the speed and explosiveness from the previous year.

The way our offensive has looked there is no way this is precautionary. You play 12 games a season. This is a get right game. If he was close to healthy he would be out there.

I was looking for a Willis thread and couldn’t find it. My apologies.

Welcome to the world of a running back in football.

The clips someone said he got hurt on was in the first Q. He didn't look hurt to me the entire game and ran in the TD to make it 20-17. Who knows.
