I don't care how bad they are now, I just want some LSU football, dammit.

The University of Arkansas is facing perhaps its most challenging in-season covid-19 football issue of the fall this week, multiple sources have told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
Two staff members, who are not on-field coaches, and at least one player received a positive result from coronavirus testing conducted on Sunday, the Democrat-Gazette has learned. The resulting contact tracing has led to quarantining for a number of personnel, both players and staff.
However, Arkansas Athletic Director Hunter Yurachek said Tuesday afternoon the Razorbacks’ roster numbers at this point are in good shape as it pertains to the mandatory levels required by the SEC medical guidance task force to play a game. The Razorbacks (3-4) are scheduled to host LSU at 11 a.m. on Saturday.
“We have been dealing with positive tests and quarantining among all of our sports since our student-athletes returned back in June,” Yurachek told the Democrat-Gazette. “We will continue to deal with that. We’re dealing with it now. But it’s not impacting our ability to play games right now.

“As we sit here today with the testing results that I know from Sunday, we’re in great shape to play football on Saturday.”
The UA athletic department has provided only a few updates on testing results and quarantining since the pandemic hit in March, and it did not on Tuesday. Players and staff on the football team were undergoing their second round of testing for the week on Tuesday, and those results are due back Wednesday morning.

We only had 1 maybe 2 positive tests last week. It's not positives that wreck a team, it's the resulting contract tracing quarantines. frick I hope this still get's played....we may have a shot now

They’ll run the most basic run play with half their starters missing and our defense will still look completely befuddled staring and pointing at each other. ZVR frikin lit them up in practice last week. Any competent offense can score on our defense. The only time we look good is against dysfunctional offenses that beat themselves (see Vanderbilt and South Carolina) . On to next season!

LSU had only 4 players test positive yet had I think over 20 players out due to contact tracing

Even if Franks is out, their backup will still be good for 350 yds passing.

This contact tracing is BS

Amazed at how many public health experts we have on this site.

It is, and one can’t test out of contact tracing, if you have been “traced” it’s mandatory 14 day no matter how many negative test, you can test negative for the 5th time on the 10th day and still have to wait the 14 days

Yea that’s what the problem is. Just test the players if you are positive then you can’t play which is understandable

Starkel left before he finally had a shot to get an SEC win
