Houston said AJ is out for rest of year

Marcus Marshall was also hobbled in the second half.

Watched replay on ESPN3 this morning. Looked like the defender grabbed and twisted his leg, and didn’t see him come back in after that. Hopefully it’s a minor sprain or twisted ankle, but a bit concerned, he was racking up a lot of rushing yards this game.

Run game looked better last night against a supposedly stout d.

Is that due to no bolden? I honestly don’t think he was having a good year. Looks too immobile to me. Not able to pull or get push as well as he used to

Bethea took his place and unfortunately hurt in the passing game. Watching rebroadcast and Some of the jailbreaks were on him. Hopefully that’s just an experience thing and he’ll learn going into next week

I’ve lost count. How many season ending injuries have the Dukes had now?
3/5 of the O-line starters are done and I think that is the biggest issue.

Look up about 5 posts. Did I miss any?

Anyone have any update on Kloo's injury in the WSU game?

Knee, looks like he's also done.

If that is the case, as a blocking TE, we lost yet another O lineman starter.

I thought the same thing. The post tackle twists occurred a couple times through out the game, including a helmet twist on Schor as he lied on the turf. No penalties or even a verbal rebuke by an official.

Yeah, we're done. It's been a good run. We should fold the program and keep our win streak frozen at 25. Go out on top.

The good news is that while we talk about injuries HCMH does not, a quality the puts him head and shoulders above his peers IMO.

Man if Kloo is done you really have to feel bad for him for all that went on this season. Not the way he wanted his Sr season to go I would guess.

...next man up we still got 2 tough teams to pound, that should be the mind set! We have talent and one of the best coaching staff in the country! we are gunning for Championship not some kohler toilet bowl game.

Not so fast my friend!

JMU played with a depleted O-line at NDSU and came out with the win. Overall, I don't think our O is as good as it was last year; but I also don't think that our D last year is nearly as good as this year's.

While we survived a squeaker last week, I think our O matches up favorably to SDSU and depending on Goedert's status JMU's D can make the stops they need to win by two scores.

Instead of being negative be positive. Lift our team up and say a prayer for them. You are the kind of person that probably gave up Friday night and thought we would lose. We have a team that wants to win and they will!

Is Marcus Marshall okay for next week? He hobbled off at the end of friday's game but appeared in the post game presser looking okay.

Guys, It was sarcasm on my part addressing all of the SDSU concerns posters were/are having. We are gonna crush.

Liking the contributions from the Freshmen Offensive Lineman- North Jersey Catholic's Don Bosco and DePaul one a true freshman (who JMU outrecruited G5 and P5 programs for) and the other a red shirt freshman who had to earn his stripes.

Cheatham at Tight End will perform well in Kloosterman's place.

Don’t forget we lost Kloosterman’s replacement earlier in the year. He started the first few games ahead of Cheatham. There are some positions on offense where we are starting the third team player. How many FCS or even FBS schools could still be in the playoffs with the injuries JMU has had?
