Spring Injuries

ND Editor March 25, 2013 Football Tagged amir Carlisle, Chase Hounshell

Two serious setbacks for 2 players that had to sit out last year:

Chase Hounshell DE – looking to work his way into the DL rotation suffered his 2nd broken shoulder which will require surgery and in all likelihood is out for 2013. This is going to hurt for the DL really has very little depth.

I never thought he should have played as a freshman–he was simply not strong enough. Very highly regarded but he did not have the size or strength of Tuitt and Lynch. He was in great shape but this is his junior year and even with eligibility preserved I’m not sure at all he will ever play.

Amir Carlisle RB broke his collar bone – this is just one of many injuries in his short career. It may be that he is just too small and perhaps too brittle. With this injury he should be recovered by the Fall.

We have had a spate of hamstring, shoulder and collar bone injuries and while the hammies seem to have been taken care of it’s the shoulder and collar bone injuries that cause a lot of concern. Those areas really need to be looked into by Longo – just too many of them.

Both were injured in the 1st practice in pads and the loss of Hounshell is going to have an impact on the practices for the rest of the Spring and maybe into the Fall.

You have to feel for these guys – both worked so hard to get into shape and get some playing time.

ND 59 AIR FORCE 33

This game basically over by halftime with ND 49 AF 16 due primarily to turnovers by AF and an unstoppable ND offensive performance.

ND totaled 560 yards total offense with Rees passing for 4 TD’S 260 yards and the rest by an explosive running game.

The following players scored:
Floyd, Eifert, Gray, Wood, Riddick, Atkinson and Roby Toma–his first as a ND player.

Andrew Hendrix leading rusher at 111 yards which included a 78 yard run–should have been a TD but Hendrix got his feet tangled and fell down at the 1 yard line.

Dominating offensive performance and MVP offense goes to Rees.

Defense was another matter altogether–they were gashed for 565 yards and clearly don’t have a clue how to stop a fast paced multiple style option offense. AF just couldn’t put points on the board when it mattered. Does not bode well for future opponent Navy which cut blocks a lot more than AF.

Jamoris Slaughter the defensive MVP.

Surprised that freshman DL Chase Hounshell, number 50 played although he looked pretty damn good–but burns a year of eligibility.

Overall a win against a good team. 4-2 going into bye week.

Chase Hounshell CHASE 6’6” 265 DT or OT flipped from FLORIDA to ND, About the same time we snaked Fla. Diaco is some kind of recruiter. Let’s hope all the others stick although the silence from Tuitt is disturbing. Great Job Closing – so far.
