DeMarcus Granger - last years #1 DT

[Since71ASooner4Life]

Sad to say that living hear in Detroit I don't get to catch too many Sooner games unless they are highly rated and on Nationally televised games. This year I only got to see one game. It's awaful - I've sat in front of my PC hitting the refresh button to "watch" the play-by-play results electronically many times!

I was just looking over defensive statistics from last season, and didn't see Demarcus Granger having recorded a single tackle, so I'm wondering if he was injured and didn't play at all, and I didn't even know it? I thought I had read comments somewhere that he played well this year, but having recorded zero tackles doesn't sound like I heard correctly!

Someone please fill me in .... thanks in advance

He came in hurt and redshirted. He'll have a shot at starting next year.

Nick,

Can you tell me what type of injury, is 100% recovery expected, etc ... ?

[stoopified]

Nick, where you at?I'd like the answer too.

[NickZeppelin]

Blood clot in his leg. He couldn't run for 5 or 6 weeks early in the year. He came in overweight 350+ lbs but has worked hard from day one and is in good shape now He's around 310 now. It'll be between him Bennett and if we get McCoy for the DT spot opposite Pendelton

I would love to see a team try to run up the middle on McCoy and Granger....

[CatfishSooner]

i think they will be go outside...

[Seamus]

I think they'll have little choice. But we will have excellent speed to the corners, and running on this defense will be very difficult.

I'm hoping Granger and McCoy can consistently collapse the pocket.

[NickZeppelin]

I think we'll see Pendelton in there more then we'll see Granger and McCoy on the line at the same time. Pendelton is a very good talent and will be a 3 year starter.

Dood, it's called a sports bar and they have MANY Sooner games on Saturday. I don't think that I missed a single OU game in NYC.

not YET!

[MojoRisen]

WE can rotate them the entire game and be fresh every single play it will be absolutely sick what we can do with that. They can all get substantial PT and we can be aggressive on every play- no breaks...

trust me...if they can find any excuse to show a big-10/11 game instead of anything else in sports bars up here they do it.

[Ruuuuuufus]

Reportedly halfway through the year Granger had made enough strides that the coaches were thinking seriously about pulling his redshirt. He really started to tear up the scout team in the 2nd half.

[NickZeppelin]

Yep I think Granger and Pendelton probably start even if McCoy comes.

[RedStripe]

The way we rotate the DT position we basically have 4 DT's starting. In crunch time we play the best 2.

Believe it or not, some of us Sooner Fans are tired old 45 year olds who work demanding jobs that have us away from our families every week flying around the country (and the world) visiting customers. And some of us tired old people waited until we were too old to have children (mine are 5 and 7), which when young, occasionally want attention when we return home on the weekend. Amazingly, that lifestyle doesn't lend itself to spending too much time hanging in Sports Bars checking out the hotties - can you believe that?!!! I wasn't always the pathetic old guy that I've become .... believe it or not I was once a hip college student with long hair and an earring (even before they were cool) that got drunk and high at frat parties and then took girls home to my place for meaningful one night relationships!
