Frankus Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 I can't remember a game when three down linemen went down in one game, with two (Bothello and Craig)sustaining season ending injuries. And this is after Jagusah went out for the season. Out of curiosity, I checked out ND's Loren Landow's previous job. He left the Denver Bronco's after 4 years where the Bronco's led the league injuries. Here's an article regarding the Bronco's problems. Sean Peyton and Landow "parted ways" . Let's hope Landow's injury issues didn't move to South Bend. Broncos Injuries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDhoosier Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 The problem is that these injuries appear to be freak accidents and not something that could be preventable. Craig was clearly rolled on from the side, no one can prevent that type of injury. I am unclear exactly how Botelho got hurt and Schrauth seems to have a minor ankle injury which is likely unpreventable as well. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessemoore97 Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Two OL got rolled up on. Nothing is going to mitigate those from happening. Botolho went down with no contact, freak thing not sure if really preventable or not. On the positive our guys looked good in the heat etc of A&M a few weeks back, don't think I've seen our guys in any games with cramping issues. That's good. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldy Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 They do say it mostly has to do with Astro Turf, and I have seen so many players saying that it really is causing a lot of injuries. Mostly knee, but the others getting rolled up on happens a lot. Hate seeing it though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldy Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 On a side note, I’m hoping Botelho can come back one more season if he chooses to. I know he’s on his fifth season, but he only played three games this season. That means he should be able to redshirt, so it would be great to have him back for one final season!

NDhoosier Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 He was never redshirted from what I understand, so he should be able to utilize a 6th year of eligibility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, exactly what I saw too, so here’s to hoping he comes back for one final season! 🤞🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yay, now we can too use 6th year guys like most other teams. Well, I guess Hartman was one of them. Can’t wait for it to end next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
