Notre Dame Starting Nose Tackle Injured, Rumored Out for Season

[techfan4]

Senior Jarron Jones started 11 games last season before hurting his foot towards the end of the year. He's a 6'5" 315lb. beast. A few forums are saying it's confirmed (knee injury) that he's out but the only thing being reported is that they don't know the severity yet.

Plenty of unsubstantiated chatter (as of Saturday morning) that it's probably a torn ACL, hence out for the season. We'll see soon enough. Regardless of the Irish depth, which is pretty good, it's a blow to them; Jones' stats from last year, over 11 games, were 40 tackles (7.5 for loss), 1.5 sacks. And he'd blocked four kicks in two seasons. That's a 6'5"/315 hole to fill for the Irish.

Jones also got injured late last season, missing the bowl game against LSU -- which the Irish won.

Yes, we need them to win to stay ranked above us before the game. They have to be high to catapult us up where we want to be.

I always hate to see a season ending injury to any player. I wonder how Kelly sounded in press interview. Opposite of CPJ he is verbose to the press. They don't have ask him question upon question to get something out of him.

Balls, I hate it if they have excuses when we steal their lucky charms.

When we lose guys (Cottrell, Leggett, Andrews, Harrell) our team gets worse. But every team has the same issues. I say this to say that I think we've been pretty fortunate this year so far, especially compared to last year.

Unfortunate timing for him b/c MCL tears don't even require surgery. Just time to heal, grow back, and strengthen - usually about 3 months.
