Injuries never really look good ya know? Blue can sit out against Auburn and Ware can come in.LSU is lucky to have this situation.

He walked to the locker room on his own, he wasn't even using the crutches

He hobbled on crutches to the locker room.

The play before he left the defender lunged at his knees and got a good shot. Thought he shook it off, but he started limping after the next play.

All RB's should learn to protect their knees. This is especially true for tall RB's like Blue and Hill.

Not sure if Hill has this skill as I haven't seen enough of him yet.

Blue is a very good RB but if he sits the next two games he will not be missed at all.

why are so many of our starters getting injured. Good thing we have depth or we could be screwed. Blue, Mingo, Loston, Faulk etc etc

It's almost like we're snakebit. Combine that with TM7's suspension and losing several players to academic issues, and there's only so many hits we can take before it starts to affect us.

I was on the sidelines with the team last night and I overheard the trainers when they were working on Blue. They kept talking about strained or sprained ACL or MCL. Fruge came over after that and started explaining the differences bewteen the two to Blue. Didnt seem like Blue was too worried though because he seemed in good spirits while on the sidelines until he left on crutches. Hope this info helps!

Just saw him go off in the CST replay on crutches like you said. How long do you have to rest that kind of sprain usually?

His knee got blown out on a play in the first half. Might just be a matter of staying off of it for a few days.

But we'll be more than fine for Auburn.

you can walk with a torn acl, not that I think he tore it, but basically nobody has a clue.
