BYU suffers bad break: lineman possibly out 'several weeks' (http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/08/12/byu-suffers-bad-break-lineman-possibly-out-several-weeks/)

The only returning starter on BYU's offensive line will likely be lost for an extended period time after breaking his hand, the Salt Lake Tribune is reporting.


Matt Reynolds suffered a broken bone in his left hand at some point during practice today. Afterwards, an X-ray revealed a break.


According to the Tribune, the lineman will see a specialist either later on today or tomorrow.


At that time, a more definitive length of absence will be determined, although the paper wrote that Reynolds "could be out several weeks".


Without Reynolds in the lineup, the projected starting line would have a combined 10 college starts between them.


That statistic doesn't bode well for the Cougars' season-opening game in the new Texas Stadium versus No. 3 Oklahoma.

Our d-line is going to have so much fun!

[MojoRisen]

That dude will play with a soft cast or something.

[AllFnDay]

Over/Under ... 0 yards rushing?

[setem]

I was reading on their boards they think a club cast will give the kid some kind of advantage...BONG!

[cvsooner]

I'm figuring our d-line may wind up with honorary BYU jerseys 'cause they'll spend so much time in the backfield. I just hope a Washington Husky incident doesn't crop up again from the frustration.

Last year Merv made a joke about our guys being in the back field. Anyone remember when and what the joke was? I found it quite humorous!

We didn't complain when Rocky Calmus grabbed the football and clubbed people out of his way with HIS cast... ;)

[yermom]

well, i don't see this guy running back a pick six :)

[SoonerInFortSmith]

Like this is really gonna matter.

[tommieharris91]

well, i don't see this guy running back a pick six :)

Seeing how he's an OL, I never did to begin with. ;)

Somebody ask Andre Ware if he's still chalking this up as a L for us.

"It's so quite in here that you can hear that you can hear a purple jersey drop!"

Something to that extent.

I think it was against Utah, he said something like "(Utah QB's Name) is seeing a team photo of the OU d-line down there"

It's times like this that we can make merciless jokes about how many sacks we're going to get... I'm going to contribute to this by replacing the word "love" with the word "sack" in some sappy love song.

Oh, my sack
my darling
I've hungered for your touch
a long lonely time
and time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much
are you still mine?
I need your sack
I need your sack
Godspeed your sack to me

OK, bad idea.

[SoonerPr8r]

I need your sack
I need your sack
Godspeed your sack to me

OK, bad idea.

So wrong. But so funny.

[badger]

offseason looms...

:pop:

[BoomerJ]

Yeah, Badger "I need your sack" sounds pretty nasty.

[soonerloyal]

Bless the young man's heart. Sending prayers for his quick healing and recovery.

But yeah, we'll beat 'em good.

Gave me a visual that I didn't need nor want:D

Yep, sounds like an excuse to arm their OL with a weapon.
Good news for the Sooners, it will make it harder for him to hold the OU linemen.

Um, that would be Utah State?
