Key confirmed Cooley is out and there is no timetable to his return

Likely concussion protocol carefulness.

Was Horace Lockett playing in our other games? Big get if we get another DL back

I hadn't spotted him in the rotation, but I might've missed him.

Could someone please summarize what we know about Alexander. was he a walkon? Looks promissing.

He was dressed, but had a cast on his arm/wrist. Don't believe he got in either game. Be good to have him in the rotation.

Chad was listed as a walk-on for his freshman year (2023). Not sure if he has been awarded a scholarship yet, but he looks capable of earning one. Smart kid, had multiple Ivy League offers but chose Tech after originally committing to Army.

I heard Wes refer to him as a "former" walk-on during the FSU game.

Lockett has not played as yet this year.

Also, in the Tuesday presser, I noticed Key said he wasn’t gonna rush a player out there until he was “mentally” ready to go. That made me think concussion for Cooley.

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).

Good deal with Alexander but I’d like to see Carrie run the ball some too

Not if he cannot hang on to the FB(Carrie)

 

[GT05]

Has he fumbled?

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.

FWIW could also be looking to preserve his redshirt

I believe Chad is on scholarship now. I could be wrong but that’s what I’ve heard.

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.

Also, scheme/play security. Might need more practices to know the right thing to do
