Wartman out for the year
- Thread starter PennStateNate
- Start date
I feel so bad for the kid. He was on the verge of being a really good LB. He is SR/JR, but depending on the severity of the injury he might have a difficult time getting ready for next year.
Agreed, he was bringing it. A horrible development. We can afford injuries. So sad for Wartman, to go down while trotting off the field. That was all I saw unless he had been hit and the injury was on the verge of happening?

Can someone explain to me why a starting inside linebacker, in a position which is generally thin, was playing on the punt team
There is no legit explanation for that. In fact, it's so unexplainable that when he went down I literally looked up Penn State's roster to see if there was a 3rd #5 player on the team.
Amen. Downright negligent on JF's part. No reason they couldn't have played a non-starter, even a freshman like Cooper (who ended up playing).
Teams are using starters more and more on specials. Announcers made many comments about this during the ND game.
I'd be hard pressed to find a college or NFL program that does not have some starters playing on special teams.
Bs. Everyone does it these days. If they didn't you would be the first one on this board whining about giving up a long punt return.
