Glad to hear that Alexander is good to go. The way he was holding his body after that hit made me think it was a collarbone - will be good to have him back on the field.

Hoping for a speedy recovery for Cooley - but glad they're giving him the time he needs to heal (and glad we've gotten to the point where players are actually given the appropriate time to heal).

No. Somebody brought that up (maybe @stinger 1957 ) as a possible reason he's lower on the depth chart, but imo usually blocking ability is why a talented freshmen RB might be lower on the depth chart.
Yep...and this is how rumors get started, and accepted as fact.

So just to put it out there, for any other readers - there is no indication or reason to think Carrie has had any issues hanging onto the football. Him being lower on the depth chart could have any number of reasons:
  • Blocking
  • Ball security
  • A stacked RB room
  • Wanting to preserve a redshirt
  • He's young, and hasn't shown anything that puts him highly above any of the team members with more experience
Any of the above could be reasonable, and none are more reasonable than the others. Just wanted to call that out explicitly, as in the past I've seen subtle hints like the one that was previously given taking on a life of their own.
