Could mean MRI and Bando not returning from injury.
That is the thought that immediately came to mind. That, and holy crap, how bad is the depth here if you take a senior running back and move him to linebacker mid season
Chris Weber actually looked decent out there. Just hope he doesn't call a time out when we don't have any.
Yet, these coaches are clueless and completely to blame for 2-3 start!The cupboard could not be more bare.

I'm telling you, I've never seen a more unlucky start to a coaching career. A hail mary against BYU. An interception in OT vs. Miami. A called run play that turns into a pass that leaves just enough time for Illinois to score a TD in the waning seconds.
Throw in an already undermanned front 7 facing injuries to several starters (Banderas, Ivey, VV, Williams, Gangwish) - seriously, the football Gods are throwing several hurdles at Riley, and I still think he and his staff are the right guys for the job.
Just think when luck turns for the better.
#1 - several younger guys getting invaluable experience
#2 - The team will have learned several lessons from end of game scenarios and will be better because of it
#3 - They've already seen the bottom (or at least we hope they have) - and it's much easier to build up after being taken down, so the final outcome might be worth all of this angst.
that would be a shame - I like the fact the coaches are thinking outside the boxCould mean MRI and Bando not returning from injury.

Do we have any Freshmen that are redshirting? Ferguson and Young have played. Reed is on special teams (and playing safety?). Talan has left the program. Is Berry redshirting?Chris Weber is a walk on. He has been serviceable but is not going to allow us to beat elite talent like Ohio State in the Big 10 championship game. Beats the alternative of burning redshirts on frosh.
can you expand on this I thought everyone thought pretty highly of the S&C coachImprovements are needed to S&C. It goes well beyond injuries.

This might actually be a good move for him. Might improve him chances of playing on Sundays.That is what I have heard
Whatever dude! You have Phillip now picking the brain of the Godfather of strength and conditioning and you say we need an upgrade? LolImprovements are needed to S&C. It goes well beyond injuries.
Big 10 championship.... hahahahahaha dont you think we could worry abt that later?Chris Weber is a walk on. He has been serviceable but is not going to allow us to beat elite talent like Ohio State in the Big 10 championship game. Beats the alternative of burning redshirts on frosh.
i hear they are doing yoga, which should include a lot of stretchingThis might actually be a good move for him. Might improve him chances of playing on Sundays.
I also agree with the S&C concerns. I wonder if they are incorporating stretching into their weight program? Anyone have any incite into the S&C program, please feel free to chime in.
I don't agree one bit. It has now been over nine months since these guys have been hired. You can't blame the S&C injuries/problems on Bo's staff.This is one aspect of the program that definitely will take time. You can't build these guys up overnight. Like Peter says, many of these guys are not in shape and the former regime did little to improve. Getting Epley back should help us get back on track, but it will take at least one off-season for them to "husker up".
Actually you can. You can blame the fact they weren't properly trained and held accountable since they got there.I don't agree one bit. It has now been over nine months since these guys have been hired. You can't blame the S&C injuries/problems on Bo's staff.

Exactly! One more loss, and this yr is meaningless. It's a great year to get valuable experience for the younger players, get rid of any remaining undercurrent, and recruit like crazy - selling them on the fact that they will play right away if they got the talent.I'm with you, support the staff and let's see what happens.
if he gets us to the big 10 championship, he's done his job this year. CoolSome of believe and some dont. Riley will turn this thing around. He's too good of a coach to not.
That is what I have heard
Mike Riley to doubters after Wisconsin win:"He'll kill ya to death inside of three quarters. This guy is a wrecking machine."
Not buying the S & C problem. Our first 25 players are good, but we are obviously lacking and depth. Love the walk-on program, but it should really be a source of 4-5 athletes, not the entire 2nd squad.can you expand on this I thought everyone thought pretty highly of the S&C coach
