Nailor done for season

Apparently Jalen Nailor broke his foot and is done for the year. Is it wrong of me to begin to question the strength/conditioning and training staff? It?s honestly incredible the amount of injuries we?ve suffered the last 5 years.

cheer up. maybe this was just a little bad luck, and there won't be so many injuries this season.

I may just be snakebitten from the past few years and am automatically assuming the worst.

No, I don't think it is - I've wondered about it and mentioned it here a few times over the last couple years. Seems like every year our o-line is banged up but last year it was the entire offense. It's crazy not to at least look at it.

I don't know about the training staff but I do know a foot surgeon who has fixed a couple Spartan athletes after the team doctor couldn't get them right (Korie Lucious was one of them and he didn't do Byrd's surgeries but he consulted on him).

Nailor is a big loss, hopefully it's an isolated incident and not the tip of the iceberg.

Edit: I forgot that this isn't our first big injury - while I don't think primary left tackles Chewins and Arcuri are out for the season, both are injured and we were using the 3rd option at left tackle for Tulsa and freshman running back Anthony Williams Jr. and wide receiver Tre' Von Morgan who were expected to see the field are also injured, so maybe this is just the continuation of a trend.

We had 70+ starts lost to injury last season, the national average was half that. And that's not including starts lost when a new starter (because of injury) got hurt too, if you look at it like that we lost 110+ starts.

Last season, just at WR our top 7 WRs all missed games injured during the season. Zero played every game. That is just insane. We had 5 different freaking punters.

Here's what's up, outside of maybe Nick Saban, Mark Dantonio practices his team live more often than any other coach in the country. It needs to be dialed back during the season as these guys just don't hold up.

Never like to see players get injured, no matter who they play for.

Word is AJ Acuri should be back tomorrow and possible Cole Chewins. Would really make a difference.
