Jorvorskie out of commission?

by patienthornsfan on Aug 26, 2008 4:41 AM CDT

Texas A&M running back Jorvorskie Lane's questionable status because of a lingering neck injury will be a big matter of concern until he returns to practice. And it could be an even bigger matter for the Aggies if he doesn't respond quickly to treatment -- mainly because of the Aggies' lack of depth at the position. Lane, a 6-foot, 285-pound senior, sustained a stinger in practice Aug. 13 and hasn't seen action in contact drills since then. A&M coach Mike Sherman said that Lane has had trouble coping with headaches and still hasn't been cleared to play for the Aggies' opener Saturday night against Arkansas State.

I have to say I was a bit nervous about facing Goodson out of the I formation with Lane clearing a path about him. What does this do to Sherman's offensive scheme? I feel for the Aggies having to face Miami if he's still not cleared to play.

Huh

When I saw “out of commission,” I thought for sure he ate one too many jelly doughnuts.

If I was an aggie

I would say quit being a P**sy J-train, anyone can sustain a stinger in their neck and play perfectly well…probably had to take him off in a cart

Never had one,

but I looked it up. Apparently 70% of college football players sustain one at some point, but typically they only miss a few days (at most).

Some pretty tough players (i.e. Brian Dawkins) have missed games for stingers, but they probably have suffered a lot more of them, and didn’t have the reputation of being a goldbrick in the first place.

I’m just wondering who hit him hard enough to damage the nerves though his helmet and protective layer of blubber.
