Duscussion on injuries

[ArcheryUte]

It’s not a secret that injuries for the Utes have been season altering – two years straight.

A handful of qb’s, d line, line backers, RB…. The list goes on.

What can you do to prevent injuries? Do you think the staff sees it as a problem that needs to be corrected?

I am excited for ‘25 and the portal additions but they won’t matter if the new players are “week to week” for every game.

I agree. Something is going on with the excessive injuries.

But I don’t have any inside knowledge. So I’m speculating.

Just a guess – they probably get pushed harder in practice and have more physical practices. But I thought the coaches were going to address that this year so maybe I’m wrong.

Level of play in practice probably plays a part, but some of those players have also had pre-existing injuries or an injury history too

Outside sources focused on issues associated with strength and conditioning. It’s not normal for any team to have so many injuries over such a prolonged period of time.

Man I wish I could say I’m excited for 25. All this portal, NIL madness is sucking the love of the game from me.

Man, last two years were bad. The injury’s out of Fall camp is not new. I think it was 2021 or 2022, maybe both, half of the 10 strong Olneman were out hurt when the season started. Some trickled back into the rotation, but it was a constant shuffle of players in, out, and around to different Oline positions throughout the season.
