Injury news: Texas loses another running back to season-ending injury

[crimsonaudio]

Never want to see a player injured, this leaves texas with only three scholarship RBs...

Texas suffered its second season-ending injury at running back Monday when true freshman Christian Clark tore his Achilles tendon in practice, the school announced Tuesday.

Texas said Clark will have surgery and will miss the remainder of the year, six days after announcing CJ Baxter, last year's opening-game starter, will undergo season-ending knee surgery.

The losses leave the Longhorns with three scholarship running backs.

Tough break and I hate to see that stuff happen. Bama has had the injury bug before and it isn't fun at all. Hopefully this kid will heal up and return to the field and be a good one...

Man that stinks.

We’ve definitely had seasons where both RB and LB were especially hit hard and it’s difficult to overcome.

Wish the young men a speedy recovery.

 

[Tidewater]

Sorry to hear this. Get well soon young fella.

I hate to see injury news and notes. Alabama has had a rough go with injuries recently with the RB’s a couple of years ago and all the backers a little further back that forced the two freshman to start.

Though I don't wish it on any team, I'm just thankful that so far Mr. Injury Bug hasn't visited our house. Because there's been seasons he's brought suitcases and stayed all season long. I hate that for the kid and Sark.

 

[Bazza]

Hate to see this.

It's happening to some other teams as well......

 

[DrollTide]

That's the thing about running back rooms and indeed any room. You can lose both your starters inside couple of practices. This has happened to Alabama and it has probably derailed at least 1 championship for us.

 

[Bamabuzzard]

That's the volatile thing with football, before a practice, you can have a ton of depth in the RB room, then at the end of it, you're thin. I can remember years we started with "plenty of depth" at the RB position and within two weeks went from plenty to thin.

I remember 2021 when McClellan and Williams went out during the season, Camar Wheaton tore his meniscus in camp, and Trey Sanders was still recovering. It was Brian Robinson's alone, which was scary in the event something happened to him. Going into the season there was a thought that we had a major logjam at RB.

Perfect example of starting the year loaded, and limping at the end. Brian Robinson was a warrior that year. But that lack of diversity in the run game hurt us against Ga in the NC game. Not to mention Metchie being out and Williams going down during the game.

It poured on us, for sure. Only reason UG had a championship that year.

This thread is why this is the best college football site on the interwebs. How many rival sites put up sympathy threads when we were hit by this injury bug? I'd say ZERO to NONE.

Nice try Bazza, but none of us are going to pay to read a Gatah site.

Besides, you probably started those anyway. I'd expect nothing less from you, my man.
