Hell, you should j/k. That's what we heard about Brent for months it seems

Expect zero answers from any of our coaches on injuries...White could be badly hurt but the coaches would not say either way....Our radio sideline guy has labeled 2 or 3 injuries ACL tears but no words about extent of injuries for anyone on team.....Not sure why its such a secret either ....So short answer no one will have any idea until after kickoff, even our radio crew complains that the coaches don't tell them who is even out or not out on game day...

That seems to just be a WKU thing in general.

Sadly, we get the same thing at Marshall. They always say they are following HIPA guidelines.

And I think there's your answer......

I have read other schools give timelines at least with injuries....WKU has never done that....

At this point I would rather see White sit out a couple games.....

We get to see what we have at QB for next season.

Under this system I actually think Drew Eckels is the better fit. I think with Drew as QB it opens Western's running game because linebackers can't just tee off on the line. They would have to respect him in the read option. He's also not a bad passing QB...

decision making probably was the key factor in White earning the starting job last year and this year was a extension of that.

I hate it for White but for this style...Eckels brings a different skill set to the game. You need a QB that can make a defense pay for shooting a outside linebacker in the gaps on almost every play.

You could change the names in your post to those players at Marshall and it would fit. In today's game you need a QB who is a threat to run, while we are hamstrung with an uncreative OC Litton's immobility has really cost us.

I hope White isn't hurt too badly. Not only for his future, but we also need WKU to get bowl eligible.

If we get bowl eligible it will be the min. 6 wins needed and we will get killed in a bowl game...
