I think most of the injuries have been freak injuries (guys getting rolled up, stepped on etc.).
But yes the staff has bench running a tough camp and it should pay off down the road.

For those worried about injuries, read this article.
Urban Meyer has some of the toughest practices in CFB. They call them "Bloody Tuesday." This results in some of the toughest mofos in college football.
Worth the read.

Becoming more and more concerned about the the RB position. I raised concerns about it awhile back and folks thought I was overreacting. Durability is the biggest issue across the board.

Yeah, you raised concerns because after Warren, it's a crap shoot. And Warren has just been injured for the second time.
He gets hurt a lot for a big kid. Not sure whats up with that. At similar, but slightly smaller size, Earl Campbell made people hate life during practice.

Im hoping that the paasing game is so explosive that in general it opens up the running game.

I really respect your insight and posts, but I'll have to disagree on this one. There is more than enough talent to pick up the slack if Warren goes down during the season. Starting with Kirk Johnson (if he stays healthy). There are some good RB's on this roster.

The "if he stays healthy" is the issue with Johnson. You can't project favorable things from a guy when he hasn't proven he can stay healthy for a full season. Your two most talented backs haven't logged a full season at Texas due to injuries and that's a bit scary.
After that you got guys that have small sample sizes from last year (Porter) and guys who have yet to log snaps at the college level (Carter, Houston, Young).

Hey! Just let me enjoy my koolade until the season starts B) . Seriously though, I get what you're saying. I just want Kirk to succeed and have the same success as his brother.
Yeah, but even Earl had tremendous issues with hamstring injuries his first 3 seasons. IIR, he was probably the first college player to wear support hose after someone suggested he try them, the kind that nurses wore/wear. I think Warren is too heavy and that puts a strain on joints and ligaments. I'd rather see him at 230 than 250.

Earl did have injury issues his junior year. But this is classic Earl
