Yes, but Perry’s injury did not happen during training camp.

I wasn't talking about Perry.
nice depth piece
Who has more receiving yards next season: Trimble or Feagin?

That really sucks! Think he would have been better than Bowick.
And this is why I've never really warmed to the 5-for-5 rule. Just seems incredibly unfair when it plays out like this, or in the case of a guy who has terrible injury luck and loses multiple years to injury. I get that people didn't like how inexact the medical redshirts rule was, that there was too much gray area. But I think the ability to function in the gray can be useful. People love bright line rules in theory, but when actually implemented the results often look harsh.
Is this a lot? Seems a little high
Welcome to the FamILLy Josh Lorick !!!
Of guys banged up? It’s a fair amount. Especially when it comes to needing bodies in practice
Lorick was a good pick up. Especially with Perry out. Welcome

Trimble, and it won't be close
speaking of WRs, I think Alston's gonna play and his snap count is gonna increase through the course of the season

Probably could have spent an extra minute to find a better tile photo for the guy.
I don’t think the theory of redshirts and multiple years in case of injury, was the wrong idea.
The NCAA needs to get out of lawsuits though. For that matter, there was only one solution.
I normally don't do this but:

To get to this conclusion you really have to ignore the absolute reputational mess and legal bind Beckman put us in. There's a difference between being a bad coach making a great team mediocre, and a coach that makes your mediocre team a laughingstock and your program a poison pill. Tepper wasn't good but you give Beckman the same exact conditions and he almost certainly would've gotten our entire athletic program the death penalty during that time with how big the microscope was on us at that point.
The fact that we got some credibility back to the program and the NCAA backed off a bit after the Beckman tenure is more a testament to how Lovie cleaned up the toxicity surrounding the program than anything Beckman did or left us with.
Brayden Trimble sounds like a future leader/captain. Great team first approach that will lead him to individual success. I hope we get to see him start to fulfill his potential this year!

You know, we will have 5 games under our belt when Oregon comes to Champaign.
We should be pretty gelled by then. If we are healthy, and get a bounce or two,
hey, anything can happen. So, I like our chances! Exciting times!

Lovie put in a skeleton of a good organization in pretty short order, which was a remarkable feat, I thought...He just didn't actually fill it up with, y'know, people. Recruited as if the roster limit was 55, not 85, and didn't bother to finish building a coaching staff before he got bored with the whole endeavor. But the change in professionalism and organization was a non-trivial step at a time that was not a foregone conclusion.
