Observation: Almost all negative posts blaming/calling out CJF since yesterday

No it is an example of no results from what we did.
We are a one dimensional team with a Corp of running backs who had potential and have been slowed down or canceled by injuries.
Our portal transfer has been injured and shows little promise of being the answer.
With Clifford limited by his injury we were easy.
Yet we moved the ball early and put up points. The missed field goal was key(in my opinion).
A made field goal forces Illinois to play differently.
That being said we gave up 10 points in regulation, lovets of yds but very few points.
My underlying question is why so many injuries every year.
Is conditioning program with its seeming emphasis on big weight lifts a problem for players feet ankles and knees?
I know nothing about strength and conditioning (unless you count sitting on the couch and walking to the fridge as conditioning) but my buddy said about Barkley that knees and ankles weren’t built to carry around the kind of muscles he has in his thighs and calves. He may be way off, but there’s a reason he gets hurt so frequently, so there might be something to what you’re saying. I may have to stay at a Holiday Inn at some point to be more of an expert, I just thought it was an interesting point.
