This could be more than one game.

He was behind Elvis in the drive thru

I guess he's pretty sick.

For WMU grads, it's sad to say that some of them are pretty clueless.

See, I kept telling you guys it was a really bad high ankle sprain. This Chip confirms it.

Re: Thomas Rawls
Rawls is a difference maker. He might be leading the nation in rushing if he didn't get injured.

Franklin on the other hand...has a bum right ankle sprain. EMU player fell pretty good on the ankle. Looks like it might be a high ankle sprain because EMU's player fell on the outside of the ankle and went inward. Franklin walked off the field this past Saturday, but no way will he be 100% come this Saturday. I prefer to beat the ponies with a healthy Franklin.

^^^ That's not confirming it... it's a "looks like it might be" from a fan watching who hates WMU. :)

Obviously MY story with his legs and 1 arm lobbed off is much more credible...

I think Jubba saw him with a peg leg. Tragic.

I just knew it .....we are toast

This was a fun thread last week...but this week?

JF played through a lot of pain yesterday. Watching him crawl off the field at one point was rough. We play NIU in 5 days...

Wheelchair football?

It was obvious he was gritting it out yesterday. I saw a lack of ability to cut upfield, loss of power and acceleration.

We've been kind of lucky this season with injuries to key guys. It sucks that JF goes down right before two of the biggest games of the season. But, JF and the rest of the team will just keep RTB and see what happens.

Should be 90% for the Bowl Game, but he definitely wasn't 100% yesterday and just won't have the time to be there for the NIU game either.

Again, Chance will get his chance and chances are that Chance will take advantage of his chance and take away any chance of a weak ground game.

There's definitely a chance Franklin won't be healthy, and we'll have to take our chances with Chance... but in the off chance Chance gets hurt, do we take a chance and burn Ekwoge's redshirt? Taking an Ekwoge on Ekwoge could pay off in huge Ekwoge's.

How much does he actually have to play to burn a redshirt. Guys like Jabril Peppers played but got a redshirt apparently

Man, my Franklin is injured prank is doing so well even the people here are believing it.
