Any news on his injury. Rumors are that he tore his acl.



This is a big deal if it is true. Looks like rowley and bryson are going to be seeing a lot more playing time and i hope manu is healthy because he is going to be playing all game long.



This ticks me off because he should not have been in the game at that point.

The official word on Saturday is they couldn't tell. The normal on the field tests they run were negative, but they said his muscles are so strong and tight that they wouldn't know until the MRI is done.

per wrubbel:


Bronco says NT Jordan RIchardson tore his ACL against CSU, and is out for the season. E. Manumaleuna will move over from DE and replace him.


Bronco: Richardson was just running in to "fill the spot" of a backup who was confused and came off the field by mistake. Non-contact injury


Walk-on Simote Vea will back up Eathyn M. at NT. Graham Rowley will be cross-trained to play NT as well.

So we are down to the walk on. We have a guy who likes to play end at tackle and as his backup a walk on. This is bad news. we have dealt with injury to our key players suprisingly well on defense so far, but at some point it is going to start having an effect on our performance.



Real shame that he was injured on a play tht he was not even supposed to be in on.

Losing Richardson is devastating. No way to spin it.

A walk-on defender from Snow College... same as Andrew Rich.

well apparently, some CC folks are ready to step in as OC given their expertise at Madden football. I bet they'd do at least as well as nose tackle. I mean, how hard can it be? You're surrounded by real football players who can make the tackle if you miss.



right? right?

While this is a big loss, I am not as worried about the transition as Eathyn Manumaleuna will move over from his defensive end position to be the starting NT. This is a position he has played off and on this season, as well as his freshmen season before he left on a church mission.



The back-up walk-on, Jr. Simote Vea is 5-11 and 243 lbs - seems more like he is built like a LB than a NT. Don't know much about his skill set and tenacity.

The problem is OL depth. With Bronco making the tough decision to have the 1s hammering the 1s in practice - you just have to hope that an injury does not come in practice.



Utah also announced a key injury. Hate to see these teams get so depleted. Rather go with bith at full strength and break their hearts one more time.
