As coach Shaw says (to his credit)... - LuckE2Bhere - 11-20-2011

we're not the only team suffering key injuries.  While I agree that the loss of key targets has weighed heavily on Andrew's performance in recent weeks, and Skov's loss was gi-normous, the following development shouldn't hurt our chances of pounding those Lousy Leprechauns next week (though I do feel badly for Gray as a person):

Quote:The the University of South Bend running back has a "significant" injury to his right knee and Irish coach Brian Kelly is not expecting the senior to play again. The Irish, who moved up two spots to No. 22 in this week's Associated Press Top 25, finish the regular season at No. 4 Stanford on Saturday and are expected to play in a bowl game.

"It's pretty apparent he's got a significant knee injury," Kelly said Sunday.

Kelly is still awaiting the MRI results on Gray's knee. But when asked if Gray's career at the University of South Bend was done, Kelly said, "That's unfortunately what it looks like right now."

Something like this that turns somebody's life upside down is far more significant than the difference between a W and an L, regardless of what team they are on.

Fortunately for Gray, he will have a pretty decent degree to fall back on (although not nearly as good as a Stanford degree).

I think their center, Cave, being injured and replaced by Golic also is a big hit to them.
