I think it's an ankle. Right ankle if I were to guess and I think it happened at Iowa. Just a feeling, he seems a bit less "twitchy" than normal and it always seems to happen this time of year. Anyone have any info?
Don't get me wrong, 85% Barkley is still better than most backs in the country but this ankle thing seems to reappear every year. He "breaks ankles" and sometimes they're his own--it's a little like watching Sean Lee re-injure his groin every year. His running style almost predetermines this injury. Just a little concerned going down the stretch with the Heisman in the balance.
Practically nobody talks about him being dinged up with the exception of Todd McShay. He said Barkley was "dinged up" during the Northwestern telecast, and he certainly didn't look like himself in that game.
