Get healed up for the BT opener. Good depth at RB so we'll be fine.

 

[MNVCGUY]

I think most of us have assumed he wouldn’t play this week. I’m all for letting him heal up for conference play.

 

[goldenboy]

Well crap.
Time for the rest of the RB room to step up.

 

[SJUgopher]

Doubtful is encouraging!

 

[SJUgopher]

Doubtful is encouraging!

Perhaps PJ not wanting to give any sort of info, but thought 0% chance he’d play and is out. If we are being honest, there was at least some thought given to him playing.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Hopefully we can survive 1 game without him.

 

[mkAz]

That stinks, I love the RB depth this year though. I predict Fame steps up big time.

Good test. Of course it would be better to not need the test...

 

[USAF]

Taylor is injured a lot.

Disappointing.

Was thinking the same thing......ugh

DT = downtime

Taylor is injured a lot.

Disappointing.

He played 12 games last year ?

 

[gopherbadgerman]

Taylor is injured a lot.

Disappointing.

Agree. Excellent player but a bit injury prone.

 

[ergopher]

Let’s hope our RB room is as deep as we thought it was… we’ll learn a lot about this team tonight

 

[Pompous Elitist]

Translation is he can run, just not well

 

[fmlizard]

AJ Turner, this is your opportunity. Let's Go!

Given it's a soft tissue injury, would anyone be surprised if he misses Rutgers too?

 

[Gopher Ally]

Time for the other backs to show what they can do

 

[Spaulding!No!]

I would not be surprised.

Running backs take a beating. Also, water is wet.

Next weekend is our first break of the season so the Rutgers game will be three weeks after the injury against NW State. That might be enough time.

Yeah, if he isn't 100% it makes a lot of sense to sit him this week and give him more time.

Definitely a shame that he is so injury prone, he is a difference maker when on the field.

They do yes. Mo was injured some too...

 

[Some Day...Maybe]

Look, you can’t count on Taylor to be available, not talking about this game, but in general. If he’s healthy, great! My point is I don’t count on him to be available for the entire season. The way I look at it is if he plays great, but I am counting on the other backs. You know we need them. I don’t count on Taylor when I factor in our success. Go Gophers!

Spare and a few pairs!

It was obvious he was operating at less than 100% for must of the year last year. To give him credit, he toughed it out and kept playing. But the team most certainly didn’t get his best.

Next men up.
