Go Utes!
Well I can’t say that I am filled with enthusiasm and hope thinking that they are going to win against UCLA tomorrow, but I do believe that they could possibly surprise everyone and at least hold the score down enough as to not be completely embarrassed.
Let’s just take a peek at what they will be fighting against......well besides the Bruins line.
First game of the season:
1. Matt Asiata, our starting running back went down for the season when his right leg was broken in play and has since undergone surgery to repair a broken tibia and fibula.
2. Matt Martinez, a starting linebacker tore his right ACL....you guessed it out for the season.
3. Colt Sampson is out for hopefully only four weeks with a MCL sprain in his left knee. He plays tight end.
4. Of course our most devastating of this week was our starting quarterback, Brian Johnson, who separated his right (yes that is correct his throwing arm) shoulder and will be out for at least 3 – 5 weeks!
That means four of our top players out of the game already when we took on Air Force last week. The woes didn’t end there however:
5. Gabe Long, a defensive tackle will be out for 3 – 5 weeks with a strained MCL.
6. So, so sad....Brent Casteel our wide receiver that has done a ton for the team will be out for the rest of the season with a torn ACL.
Not looking like a season starter that most teams wish to have when they are in dream land during pre-season. Not looking to be the start of a season that fans dream about during the long 7 months of no football. One thing I can say is that there is not a fair weather fan found on this blog (unless of course one comments and that might just have to be removed). I will proudly be found in my red apparel all season long cheering louder than ever. One just never knows when the crimson tide will change courses and those caught under it will wonder what the heck happened. I won’t be surprised as I have seen it done before and don’t doubt the determination of my team.
