washingtonpost.comThat sucks on so many levels because this guy is probably their backup QB as well.

Good lord how many ACLs is that this year?

4 that I know of. 3 QBs and then Demetrius.

All around cfb- they're everywhere. It's sorta worrisome at this point- I don't think I've ever seen as many kids to miss out on playing than this year. Either way- damn Maryland. I'm sorry...

I wish there was some way to have a knee support system that can lower our outright remove these sorts of injuries without affecting mobility. But that would most likely be extremely expensive to research and develop.

It seems like just a carbon fiber hinge (or something) would decrease mobility very little while offering the support your knee needs to not bend in ways it isn't supposed to, but I guess that isn't so.
Despite the cost of R&D, it seems likely it would pay off if it worked!

Jeez. Was he backup or 3rd string QB at this point?

Anytime you have this many of the same injury, it makes you start to question the strength and conditioning program. It could very well be a freak coincidence, but they need to at least look into it.

This. This is what I was trying to say with words I didn't have. Thank you!

Where can we buy a new ACL?

I have a donor one in my leg. I don't like the idea of it ever (though I am grateful), as I'm sure it was from patient zero or some mess and I actually bring about the zombie apocalypse by biting someone at a game.

They should get a quarterback to take his spot.

When did there coach sell his soul to the devil

Randy Edsalls dream job...

Poor Maryland afflicted by injury. Can't succeed when all your players are getting hurt
I was originally a huge detractor of Edsall but it's clear that when healthy, this team can actually be pretty good. Not as bitter towards him as I was in the past. He's actually showing competence now

AMACLHG?

Ralph Friedgen has some serious voodoo shit going on this year.
2
God damn did this team go to a Portland Trail Blazers game last spring?
2
Apparently Maryland didn't make the necessary sacrifices to the Football Gods this year.
2
I think Edsall and Locksley sold their souls (and some ACL's?) to get Diggs...
2
The strength and conditioning coach IMO should be reviewed and possibly fired this is just dumb. Sorry Maryland tough year.

What sucks is Maryland was the first team to really show how weak WVU could be. I am pulling for you guys. Plus those white jersey are sweet!

Is this just pure bad luck, or can some of this be placed on the strength and conditioning coaches? I'd really like to know.

I think ACL injuries are pretty flukey things.

Elkton represent!

I've seen it suggested that a factor in all of these torn ligaments has been the switch from a grass field to FieldTurf. Is there any truth to that?

What god did you people piss off??
I think AIRBHG is drunk and drawn to their exotic uniforms.
