It seems like we see a LOT of injuries at that position. Is it normal for other teams or is it something in OUr scheme that gets the LB's in trouble? Do the trainers/coaches miss something in the training/pt/nutrition areas?

OUr guys just have so much fun beating the shat outta people that occasionally someone's gonna accidentally beat the shat out of themselves!

A few of us were talking about this very subject over dinner. It does seem as though we do have more injuries in that position and more leg injuries seem to occur on our team as well. I wouldn't know how to look that up though. Sorry. :)

As far as Box goes, we all know it was a questionable hit from a pokie wide out.

That was my question. I think what magnifies the situation is the LB position seems to be the one with the least depth.

and exactly what about that hit made it questionable?

nothing, it was an obvious, inexcusable, blatant attempt to injure a player. period.

We do not go through a lot of LBs...at least no more than other teams.

Since Stoops took over...
Calmus...4 years.
Lehman 4 years
Alexander 3 years
Curtis Lofton 2 years inside.
Others...Jones, Marshall.

I do not recall a season where we lost 2 LBs for the rest of the season under Bob Stoops.

I could be wrong...but I don't.

All I sense is that an outstanding linebacking corps appears to be about a prerequisite to beating Texas, winning the Big 12 S., and being a NC contender. If it's absent, either because of talent level or lack of experience, OU will fall short.

Thank you OU4LIFE that is just what I thought when I read that post.
