Horns Relatively Healthy Entering Iowa State

PrintThe injury list for Texas football remains relatively light as the Horns travel to Ames to look to avenge the longest losing streak to Iowa State in Texas football history. The injuries this week:
- The big news over the past two weeks was Garrett Gilbert's shoulder surgery which will put him out for the rest of the year and could pave the way for a medical redshirt and transfer. Worry not, Horn fans, because you can get a #7 jersey at the Co-op for half off!
- Freshman WR John Harris, the first Longhorn to throw a TD pass this season, has a hurt foot and is out indefinitely. Losing Harris isn't a huge deal for the WR rotation, especially with the return of Marquise Goodwin. Harris was, however, a QB in high school and many figured he would be the emergency quarterback should something happen to David Ash or Case McCoy.
- Finally, Texas lost a safety this week as Nolan Brewster departed the program due to concussion concerns. The Horns get one back, however, as Senior Christian Scott returns after a three game suspension following a misdemeanor assault incident over the summer. Scott started ten games a year ago but there is no telling how much he'll play in his first week back.

Why are they selling Connor Brewer #7 jerseys half off?
With Gilbert and Brewster (also #7) out, CB7 likely won’t need to change his domain name:

Not a good year health-wise to wear #7 for the burnt orange with Gilbert and Brewster likely having played their final downs for Texas. The last time Texas lost both a safety and QB who shared a number, that number was #12, and Texas was losing them on better terms to the NFL. #6 jerseys now go on sale at the Co-op, also shared by a safety and a quarterback…not to be confused with sharing a dorm room. That usually involves the number 8.

Mykkele Thompson now wearing #7, FWIW.....
Some possibilities of him or Miles getting snaps, especially in a wildcat type of situation for Mykkele….
GG's got really good form in that picture...
too bad his eyes roll to the back of his head like a great white shark in attack mode when he’s getting ready to pass.
Hook Em Horns!
There was so much potential.
It’s really a sad thing he couldn’t get it right between the ears. I pulled for him extremely hard and hope that this year would mark inprovment for him.
Manny Diaz will take your lunch...and eat it too...
Injury update:
Chet Moss and Demarco Cobbs are out for this weekend’s game.
Missing both on special teams.
And with Iowa State the first true 11 personnel spread team Texas has faced this season, wanted to see Cobbs out there on the strongside. Will be interesting to see how Hicks does there.

GG's eyesight
I have wondered if he can see that well. I mean, he squints to the sidelines everytime he looks over there and the last game he played in he threw a very deep ball in double coverage!
GG out 3 weeks with hurt feelings
that jokes probably already been made a thousand times, but I’m new here so fuck it
just because I rock, doesn't mean I'm made of stone.
I actually wondered that too
Surely they give this kids eye exams at the start of the season and in the middle, etc.
We're Texas, We're not OK.
See above.
