That's too bad, I hate for a serious injury to happen to anyone.

[Pony ^]

the conference is now up for grabs

Feel horrible for both of them.
But the division is now up for grabs and we are the favorite.
VERY interesting.

It is a good break for us, but I hate to hear that kind of thing happen to a kid (two kids in this case). Does Keenum have another year of eligibility?

[S....M....U]

I feel terrible for both of those guys, especially Keenum. Good luck to both of them in their recovery and rehab.

[S....M....U]

PS. I'm sure that third string QB didn't imagine he'd get any playing time soon, let alone the starting spot.

[S....M....U]

usually i think you can apply for another year of eligibility for medical reasons. im not sure if he had any otherwise

[sbsmith]

Figured this was the case, no way they would have blown Broadway's redshirt if Keenum was coming back.

Wow thats for sure....who else would challenge SMU now that Houston is hurtin and would have a tough time performing at a high level...what a real shame for Keenum as he was poised to have a great season and maybe a Heisman position in NY, although a long shot.

[ponyte]

I hate that this happen. First, I just don't want to see anyone hurt. The consequences are just devastating cause a kid only has a few days out of his life to play college football.

I also hate that the only ranked team in the conference and one with a Heisman candidate will now lose some attention. The conference needs all the national pub it can get.

Last, even though SMU may, may mind you, gather an advantage, it diminishes any win we have over Houston and decrease the respect we would receive nationally if we did beat UH.

[gostangs]

Houston recruits very well - that third string guy will just be young and inexperienced - but he will be talented or he wouldnt be there.

Way too early to count them or anyone else out. The difference between the top team and the middle tier of the CUSA is not that great.

terrance broadway will take over. 4 star recruit. Lots of offers.
