QJ’s Ankle

[illini_frog]

Hadn’t seen this in a specific thread so has anybody heard more details about his ankle and availability for Texas?

Fully believe his presence on field is worth 10-14 points just as it opens the box and gives Max a chance to make deep throws whenever he’s in single coverage and that could be deciding factor in game vs Texas coming up.

If his ankle is no good I’m more than willing to give him mine if there’s a medical technique for that. #QJAnkleWatch

I'd give him my ankle, but then he'd only run in circles. My ankles are terrible.

This is the most important factor for Saturday. We must have him healthy to win.

He paced up and down the sideline, ran wind sprints during timeouts, and went through warmups yesterday. I think the staff wants him as close to 100% as possible for Baylor/UT.

Kaz needs to perform some magic on QJ this week.

I read somewhere that he was held out as a precaution. Don't have any idea if that was true or not. He did start the game but came out on the first series.

Listened to the post game press conference by Coach Dykes. Stated they wanted to be cautious. It sounds like he could have played if needed. Saving him for the stretch run, Texas and Baylor.

#33 said Max and QJ could take the week off and he'd just haul the entire team across the finish line on his back, walking over Tech like roadkill as he went.

Rest of the offense will show up ready to go in Austin.

Max took some shots this week. Didn't seem to have the same acceleration. He was slower to decide to run as if coaches didn't want him keeping the ball as much. Hopefully he can be ready to go at full speed Saturday night. With all the dropped balls against Tech, we gotta have him and QJ ready to rumble.

I know Wiley had his hands full with tech's DE but if QJ can't go then we need Wiley the receiving TE, not Wiley the blocking TE. Riley needs to gameplan for that.

No one is going to be able to replace what QJ brings to the table but having Jared out there as a receiver will definitely help Max out.
