Such a shame. Really feel bad for the kid as he was getting a real chance to hit the field. This was a non contact injury right?

The depth chart now looks like this:

McNeal Senior
Foster Red Shirt Soph
Allen Red Shirt Frosh
--

Agholor True Frosh
Pinner True Frosh

Not good.

Who is Foster?

will never be the same potential running back again

DJ morgan really recovered quickly from his acl tears, as did Patrick Hall.. oh wait no they didnt.

at least madden is on campus and in program so his recovery should be aided by that.

Madden would almost be better off moving back to LB in the future.

also huge blow to special teams, as madden was a great ST player.

This is the exact way the depth chart looked about two weeks ago, just food for thought for those who think we're infinitely worse now at tailback.

I had a bad feeling when I read about him going down without contact yesterday.

Hopefully he fully recovers.

On the field this year, it definitely sucks to lose a "big back" option.

But the real key is Moody staying healthy.

NA will most likely come in for obviuos passig situations, while Morgan will need to give Moody a breather and one of Allen or Pinner will need to step up and be the big back to pound the ball in certain situations.

Morgan better learn to hold onto the football. SC should have a lot of big 4th quarter leads, and Moody should be resting on the sideline not taking needless hits while the other guys grind out the clock.

talked to my friend on the team who witnessed it happen. apparently madden was trying to make a cut when his knee just buckled. said it was a freak accident. hope he recovers fast.

I expect Madden back next year, but I believe it really takes 2 full years for players to regain 100% of their explosiveness. He is way behind on RB experience and he won't be able to gain on the field practice experience during his RS year. A move back to LB makes more sense.

Damn shame for Tre, comes from a great family and is a hard working kid. He could be the biggest freak from that 2011 class IMO. I wish him well

Except that we were in bad shape at RB then. Now we are back to being in bad shape for RB depth.

Agree 100%. I'm not gonna mention names, but wasn't there a true freshman RB in Eugene that made an immediate impact last season for the Ducks? It can happen. That's why I wanted Nelson A. so badly. Big opportunities for that young man... early.
