How has your team done with ACL injuries?

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

I'm just curious if Michigan has seen more than the average ACL injuries lately. We just lost another starter for this upcoming season, Jake Butt, because of an ACL tear in winter conditioning and it seems like we have an abnormal amount.

Over the past year we've lost 6 players to ACL injuries and this will be the 4th starter and about the same time last year we lost Jake Ryan. Losing Butt is pretty significant because it means we'll probably have to use Funchess as a conventional TE again or rely on a redshirt/true freshman.

Better get a new strength and conditioning coach.

Thankfully, we did.

We've been hammered with ACL/MCL injuries in the past 3/4 years. Also, I can think of 4 starters who've had 'hip' surgeries in the past 2 years. Also, one starter with Achilles tear.

Sure hoping this new Conditioning guy Pat Moorer will help matters. First thing he did was rip out the juice bar, the snacks and the big-screen TVs from the weight room...The University of Texas Country Club Football team has been shut down, lol.
