Sam Ehlinger

[Helobious 9820]

Looked like he cut his hand and touched his face after, making it look like his nose was bleeding too. People are saying it was a shoulder injury but I didn’t notice that at all. Would be shocked if he’s not in by the next drive.

Im shocked. Regardless he won’t be out for long, the refs are the ones that made him leave and aside from the blood he didn’t look hurt at all.

Well he’s not. Does the ncaa require cuts on hands to be cleaned up?  Probably so. Assuming so, I bet they’re trying to figure out how to stitch and cover and allow him to throw. But, we are fucked until he’s back. 

[Zavala 1384]

I hope all those Shane-lovers get proven right the next few hours.

[gmr548 16701]

Cut on that throwing hand will be a bitch to get a handle on. Might take a while. Buchele is plenty capable of beating Baylor but hopefully Sam makes it back, at least after halftime.

you must be a CR'er with this binary tribalism.  it was proven over sam and shane's first 300 in-game attempts that shane is a better thrower, though far more fragile, and sam is a tougher player and better runner. 

in the first 3 games this season, sam's throwing was suspect.  it was 57%.  hence some people wanted to see if shane could improve the play under the better protection.

 

this isnt hatfields vs mccoys or montagues vs capulets

[SEC 1174]

Shane shouldn't have to do anything to win this game, just manage it. Fuck I hope Sam is alright. We should be able to beat Baylor without him and let him rest, though.

[Helobious 9820]

He’s definitely not concussed given the headset. Most likely scenario is that his shoulder/hand is dinged up slightly. He could come back in to play but UT could put a walk-on back there and still beat Baylor by 2 scores. May as well sit him the rest of the game & give him the bye week to recover too.

With all due respect, you’re a fucking moron. Shane isn’t improving the stellar QB play.

with no respect, are you dense?

nobody's criticized sam's recent play.  his critiques came off his shoddy first 3 games of the season.  maybe you need a refresher of how he did in his first 2 series vs maryland to make a comparison.

Which shoulder hurt for SAM?

Throwing.

Damn Shane looks like complete shit out there. Guess being the better thrower doesn't help when you squeeze the ball for way way way too long then throw to the sideline on the run.

[Zavala 1384]

Time to give Rising a try.

[SEC 1174]

Without sam, we look like last year's team

Edited October 13, 2018 by BigXII

[JOSEYWALES66 1855]

We need to abandon the zone read and run the ball out of a normal formation.  The know Shane isn’t running the ball or at least not running it well.

Yeah OR just put in a competent QB. Rising and Thompson are probably ready.

[longhornsftmfw 129]

I don’t think Shane is the better passer anymore. Even his completions are in the wrong positioning for maximizing gains.

[hookem2010 2700]

Lol, CJ handing out a business card

[hookem2010 2700]

Wrong thread

[mdmost 44048]

Hope I’m wrong but I think he has a separated shoulder. His arm looked to be hanging weirdly when they showed him on the TD pass

[fellside 1135]

The way Ehlinger's right arm is hanging down worries me.  This looks like it could be a while.

[Zavala 1384]

Maybe it's just a pinched nerve, we will know at halftime.

[BigVegasHorn26 630]

They would already know if it was a seperated shoulder.  Fact they want to re-evaluate at half time seems to indicate a sting or pinched nerve. Pray that we can ride Shane to the finish and use the bye to get Sam back in shape.

Cause for concern. Hope he's recovered by Oct. 27.

If it was separated wouldn’t they reset it? If they reset it why put his pads back on? Probably talking out my ass here.

[mdmost 44048]

Maybe or they put in a nerve block. He was flexing the arm going into the locker room

You’re not. If it was separated they would’ve known during that long evaluation period, reset it, and the pads would be off, particularly with a throwing shoulder. It’s not separated. 

[taybo20 3038]

Maybe it’s the same type of thing that happened to Colt. Hoping Sam is back in 2 weeks for sure

Maybe. I just had rotator cuff surgery a few weeks ago. That nerve block was awesome. Didn’t feel anything.

Out the rest of the game with a shoulder injury per the school 

[Sleepygrad 1042]

This doesn’t seem great

[Ghost of Shag 2730]

If he tore a rotator cuff he’s done.

Nor it is it Simms vs Applewhite.

I think if it was really bad he'd be in a sling.

Cam Rising or Thompson. Shane shouldn't starts.

Shane has been making some great throws on some slants. Thank God he is playing competent. 

[Atticus 4216]

This team''s success depends on Sam''s health. I appreciate having Shane as a backup, but it isn't enough to maintain our season.

[Hiphopopotamos 21191]

Get well soon Sam. Please.

I don’t appreciate him as a backup. He was incompetent for large stretches today. The faster he transfers and the staff doesn’t have him at our disposal, the better. We need someone capable of running Herman’s O and he is most certainly not it. He shouldn’t be the backup. He nearly cost us the game today.
