Sterling Moore's Knee per DMN

[Pony_Fan]

That sucks, we need Moore 100% this year. Could be a real long night if we don't get pressure

noticed that I am over 5000, how did I miss that?
do I get a prize?

I also hope we don't have our small DB on a giant WR.. pleading with Mason and secondary coach to at least have our DB's match-up according to size too.

Have a feeling they're going to go after Sterling a bit if he's injured.. especially if he's on "Curley"

Sterling is an important part of the defense, no doubt. . .but the bottom line is that our secondary is the soft spot in the D with or without Sterling. Remember, against Tech Sterling was healthy. I think Potts threw for 360 yards and 4 TDs and Leong had over 125 yards receiving and 3 TDs. Although Sterling played almost the entire UAB game, I don't think that one is a good baromator of our secondary because UAB is an absolute run-first team. Last week against WSU, I didn't think the secondary looked worse than against Tech. In fact, I thought some of the guys (Crawford) looked quite a bit better. The secondary is a weakness, plain and simple. And its a weakness that you can bet TCU is going to try to exploit.

Irrespective of whether Sterling is 100%, 85%, or doesn't play at all, the ENTIRE secondary is going to have to step up in order to limit TCU's pass game. Frankly, if he's not 100%, I'd rather keep Sterling out so he can get healthy for our conference schedule.

BTW, I had to laugh when Parks got burned at the end of the WSU game. Welcome to the college game buddy! I'm not worried about him. He'll be a good one for us. Just maybe not in his second collegiate game.

Sterling is a difference maker though. Sterling's guy didnt do much at all vs. Tech.

Also, as JJ pointed out, NOT having Sterling vs Marshall was a difference maker...for Marshall.

Sterling is CRUCIAL for us to have a chance in this game. Thomas, Parks, etc. are not ready for this type fo game.

Thomas and Parks aren't ready to really contribute in any game. Parks could get better but Thomas is just a body.

losing sterling is a severe blow. june has said he will play in the nfl. no one picks on him anymore. too bad. we are thin in the secondary to put it mildly.

While everyone worries about Sterling for this game, just answer this question. Which year did you enjoy more.....the year we beat TCU and went 1-11 or last year? We need Sterling period, but much more for the rest of the year than tomorrow. I hope he can go, but trust the coaches will make the right call.

I hope Sterling can play. If hes not ready I hope he sits. A conferance championship is very reasonable with the blow Houston took. I think WSU numbers were much higher in the passing game because Sterling did not play. Bennie got beat over and over, and if he was with them they would just jump over him. Also when Sterling comes on a corner blitz good things have happend. Heres to his health in the long run.

Park got beat for 80 when JJ enmptied his bench. Take those 80 away during garbage time and the #s are not that bad.
