I spoke to fast in that a full recovery is not truly expected within a years time. The medical redshirt would actually apply to next season. If not competing in more than 4 games or 30% of teams game in the first half of the season. Tooooo late for this year but Kaleb to be back at 100% for next year might be a tad to much to expect. Tough break for Kaleb for sure. For next season he could receive one since happened in a sanctioned game in college.

Hate it for him ... seems like a good kid. Also, I agree with Coach ... and really expand it to the last several games ... I don't remember seeing a QB here playing at that level .... and with all the tools he has. (we've had some really strong arms ... but not many that can pull it down and go 70!) Praying everything goes perfect with the surgery and rehab.

He had committed to UCF under O'Leary. When Frost was hired he signed with us. Not sure if Frost didn't recruit him or if Mckenzie Milton coming in changed his mind. Their loss our gain Oh yeah ... he seems like a gamer too! He's improved his arm strength some ... doesn't have Barker's tight spiral and it tends to tail high at times. But, he's a big strong kid and watching few practices he seems to be very well liked by his teammates! That's big. If I know anything about offensive linemen ... those guys are gonna take it upon themselves to step it up and run it even better and protect even better! Most teams face adversity ... now it's time to rally and move on!

Prayers for Barker as he recovers and for Smith as he steps up.Hate it for Barker,he was growing in leaps and bounds.Smith seems to have the right mindset and I agree the o line will bust their butts to protect him.The team will be fine and with Liberty as his first start Smith gets to ease in to the position.Not saying Liberty is easy but they are not App or GaSo.Go Troy!!!Havoc!!!!

CNB said the injury happened in the first qtr, but wouldn't speculate as to when. He said the touchdown pass was a bullet, but as you can see if you've watched the replay, nothing indicated he injured it on that play. After that play, he said it didn't "feel right". He's one tough hombre to play on a torn ACL. One other thing, during the presser, while answering one of the questions about the injury, somebody else asked a question off mike. CNB's answer, mid sentence, was "yes it is". I think he was asked if it's the same ACL he'd torn earlier.

Liberty evidently has no defense but they do have a really good passing qb, best we have seen since Boise. Will be a good test of our secondary.

Sawyer Smith will perfectly replace K.Barker. I am not worried at all.

I now return you back to the original topic.

Any other injury updates? Thought I saw an OL (Crowder?) go out early? And Folsom got hurt on a kickoff?
