That's not how it works, if you step on the field for 1 play, that is equivalent to playing in 1 game. I was in the same boat when Wicks got his med red, but I did the math wrong, he was eligible but had he played in 1 more game he would not have been.

Horrible news. Best for a quick and speedy recovery Carl. Prayers.MrTitleist said:

If he has surgery to repair, which I'm guessing is a given, he won't be back this year. I tore my ACL and the doc said it takes 6 weeks for the repair to develop a blood supply to adequately be healthy. Six weeks is when the repair would be at its weakest point.MrTitleist said:cali2wyo said:You're assuming we won't play in the conference championship game, CFP semifinals, and then the National ChampionshipMrTitleist said:
That brings up a good question... does that 30% rule apply to only regular season games? Or do conference championships and bowl games also count? If so, it seems like it gives an unfair advantage to injured players on better teams...
lol.. he's not gonna recover from an ACL tear that quick.
I wish him a quick recovery, but guess he won't be ready much before spring ball.

Of course he won't come back this season. He'll almost certainly be out for spring practice too. My comment was a joke saying if we go on to have a really long season, Granderson could fall under the 30% threshold and qualify for a medical redshirt.Poke-proud said:If he has surgery to repair, which I'm guessing is a given, he won't be back this year.

This is one of those injuries that could be the difference between 5-7 and 7-5. Some guys really need to step up along the line. Injuries will likely determine the Cowboys record since there isn't a lot of depth across the board. Hopefully he recovers to 100% for next season.

I agree. We should beat both Nevada schools but you never know on the road. I think we probably split Nevada. Then I think Utah state and New Mexico are prime to beat this year. I think we split those. I'm not sure about the SDSU and BSU games. They're both at home and I'd love to say we're ready but a split in those would be great. That's my realistic expectations now the cowboys have raised them so much. 7-5 would be great but I could see 6-6 pretty easy. Of course the homer in me sees us taking it to both Nevada teams, beating Utah st and New Mexico and splitting the BSU and SDSU games.

We must be watching different teams play. Don't get me wrong, I'd be happy with 7-5. But right now the Pokes are kicking butt. And, are standing 4-2. The way we've been playing, it isn't a stretch to think we can't split the remaining games. Only Boise and SDSU are tougher than the two teams we've already played. And we get both at home.Wyo2dal said:

The loss of Granderson is going to be huge. Unfortunately, I think there's a pretty massive drop off to our next DEs. Not to say that our other DEs are bad, but Granderson is exceptional (I think he was already better than Eddie Y.). This means a lot less pass rush for our shaky secondary.
To me Granderson's loss equates to one less win. He's that valuable to us. Hope I'm wrong. 7-5 is most likely

I hate to agree, but I think everything you say is true. He was a beast with the pass rush, and I'm not sure we'll understand that until we see Boise State, etc. With the AF offense probably not as evident, but a good passing team, "oh boy". Feel bad for the kid.LanderPoke said:

Granderson will be a huge loss.....but the team rebounded and did pretty good without him in there. The score was 7-3 when he got injured.
I thought the backup (Nela) did a great job. He is bigger and is fast. He isn't the pass rushing animal Carl is, but I think he can get adequate pressure.
The biggest question mark for me is can we get by with a 3 man rotation, or will someone else be added to the mix?

I think the loss of our Grandy Man will hurt, but I do not think its the end of our season. Our defense has shown that they can stiffen when needed and play their game. Lets be realistic, outside of the stars aligning just perfectly, we are not going to beat BSU this season with or without him. I think we still have the personnel to beat the Nevada teams to get to 6 wins and I think we can get one of the USU or UNM games as well (if not both).
Please don't misinterpret my comments, it sucks hard that we lost Carl for the year but I don't think our winning season or bowl aspirations went up in flames with him. I think we still sit well going forward. :twocents:

Bohl seemed to indicate in his press conference that they can't get by with just 3 guys, so Shiloh Windsor will likely get time (unless there's another guy around who they'd slide in).JimmyDimes said:

We're watching the same teams your being optimistic and I'm being realistic.
When is the last time we beat a ranked team? When is the last time we beat Boise?
Our remaining schedule we should beat 2-3 if those teams . But we have not done a good job against BSU, SDSU or USU over the past years so I won't count a win in there but say we could play then hard and shock any of those teams.
