9.2.19 Coach Herman press conference Noon

[Newy25 7894]

How much longer until we get either Young or Johnson back? I thought Young was a 2-4 week injury and Johnson was 6 weeks? 

[Machinator 32102]

 

[Elmer_Fudd 22959]

When is Young supposed to be back?  Rice?  OK State?

Sounds like Herman likes the fact that Johnson was on campus in January and went thru spring ball and knows the offense well and can probably adjust quicker to playing RB in this offense.

 

I like using RoJo. But why use Gbenda over Jake Smith?

To add Knowing protections is key

Young's high-ankle injury was significant. I wouldn't expect him back for a while.

Yeah good point. I was just adding what Herman just said about Johnson at RB.

Herman didn't want to put any more on Smith's plate, with him learning H and being the starting punt returner.

I get that, but as Rod Babers said on Longhorn Blitz... We desperately need running backs right now. Why convert people from other positions instead of using the guy who was the HS NPOY while playing a lot of RB in HS? Jake can go back to focusing on the slot and returning punts when we get some guys healthy. We have other options at slot and returner. If we have to use Gbenda and he looks like ass out there as a RB... this decision will be very questionable.

Tries to troll so hard and Herman mostly just stands back and lets him punch himself out

Whittington has sports hernia and headed to Philly to get it fixed and best case scenario out 4-6 weeks

Zach Shackelford went to Philly to have a procedure where a pin was surgically implanted into his ankle - he had chronic high ankle sprains. @Magus Ossis chime in if you have any idea.

But what does Philly have that you can't get in the state of Texas in terms of sports medicine care?

We’ll see.

Only question I have is if Whittington had a hernia since last year why didn’t they get it fixed in the summer? Hernias don’t just fix themselves and at some point require surgery right?

Herman mentioned the doc in Philly is the top sports hernia specialist but didn’t mention the name of the doc yet.

By far the most impressive thing about Tom Herman, is how he manages to not btfo of these dumbass reporters every presser

Herman said it was fixed in HS....and that it was not torn at Texas according to prior MRIs.   It was basically just a pain mgmt issue.   They are now fixing a new tear which happened Saturday.

He's already had surgery on it once

They probably see Jake as a pretty key part of the WR group,  especially with Moore out.

at this point with Johnson we may as well start recruiting his kid

I guess it's nice we saw Duvernay execute a carry well against LA Tech... if things come to that on Saturday.

True. But that might change as a result of Whittington's status. I would not be surprised if Whittington misses the rest of the season recuperating from hernia surgery especially if he's been playing through pain since high school.
