King Injury Factual Updates

[Lil G]

There’s a lot of postgame threads and one for the fake injuries but can we make one for reports on King?

Real insider intel and such, for however long this persists.

Really hope we’ve got him by ND.

He would have played if they thought he was able. Looks like he has an injury that they did not want to risk him getting hurt further. I was disappointed we did not have any trust in Pyron to run the entire offense. If King is down, it looks like we are in real trouble.

Go Jackets!

It's not impossible that we see Philo against ND if King can't go. I know it was a single pass, but he did look good against VMI.

Pyron can play. You guys

Well the coaches had him on a leash today. That sends a bad message to the entire team. Teams rarely win with this mindset. Fortunately UNC shat the bed worse than us.

A lot of people forget that Pyron won the game for us at UNC a few years ago…before King came along. I was there.

Yeah I know. I felt like we pulled King due to a hand injury he had played most of the game with.

 

[tomknight]

well, if he's going to get the nod, he'll get the reps in practice this week, and I think will surprise ND, and us.

Pyron is a winner. I have full confidence in him

May be a shoulder the way he held it after a couple of throws. Had an upper arm injury in baseball and I could throw but then it ached for minutes afterward. Hurt like heck. Muscle might heal, structural may need surgery. Let's hope it's not bad. I thought it might be a hand injury at Duke game.

idk so not factual but looked to me he was favoring his left shoulder early in the game

 

[stinger78]

King appeared to have an injury to his throwing hand last week against Dook that looked to affect his grip. He went off after a series early today with his throwing arm drooping. I thought, “Oh no, separated shoulder.” But he didn’t seem to be in much pain. Separated shoulders are excruciating. He continued to play for another 1.5 quarters but his arm was obviously not right.

I’m hoping for a bruised shoulder, and not a deep bruise. We play ND and VPI the next two weeks before another bye.

I have full confidence in Pyron. Biggest thing is making sure he has a full week of practice. Our offense has so much misdirection and motion, timing is critical. That's why Pyron was on a leash.

Tended to throw the ball high. Looked like he had trouble with his grip.

If King is still being evaluated there at UNC then they might be doing an MRI there to check for any ligament damage. I hope everything is negative. This team will go as far as HK takes us. Philo will probably share snaps with ZP if HK can’t go.

This is the thing about Pyron. The man has pride and is a competitor. Is he the same kind of gunslinger type that King is at times? No, a different breed of cat but Notre Dame will regret it if they take him lightly. Pyron reminds me of what Bear Bryant said about his quarterback (Pat Trammell) before Joe Namath came along: Asked a reporter: Does he have a great arm? Bear: Nope Is he a good runner? Bear "Nope." Well, what can he do? Bear walking away: "Win ball games"

 

[Bogey]

A healthy Pyron is our best chance against ND with a full week of practice versus an injured King and a limited offense in IMO. And King will not be healed by Monday I would think. A decision needs to be made tomorrow and go all in on it.

 

[iceeater1969]

Key wants toughness.
But would he play his qb with hurt shoulder of his throwing arm and have him run the ball against a not good unc team?

Surely any shoulder or concussion issue happened in unc game

Hope he only needs to just rub some dirt on it, do a long ice bath , a hot sauna, and a good night sleep

Nd can prep for king or a morecrun heavy pyron.

If they let him loose and don’t treat him as a wildcat QB he gives us a great shot to win. Kid loves Ga. Tech could have transferred but stayed as the #2 guy. I wouldn’t choose another backup in the country that is seasoned, smart and loves the game
