"Tennessee DB Gaulden out for season broken foot"

"Julian Edelman out with broken foot"

"Boston College RB Jon Tillman out with broken foot"

That was about 5 seconds of searching in 2015. There is no "broken foot conspiracy" lol its football.

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas defensive lineman Mitchell Loewen will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a broken foot Saturday at LSU.

that is the only one that occured away from home and on grass; also the only one that is a regular football injury. The other non-contact broken feet are all on turf at home.

Dez Bryant...... Broke his foot first game

But Jerry has those Arkansas ties, so I bet he had sent Dez up to practice in Fayetteville and that's where it actually occurred.

It's football..people are going to break stuff.  Some guys are more fragile than others..it's not the field, it's not the shoes..it's just football and things happen.  Just b/c it broke without contact doesn't mean anything about the field..just like when a guy tears his acl in basketball it's not b/c of the court.

What in the hades is going on up on the hill.  We are having a way above normal occurrence of foot problems for a bunch of college aged kids.  Are they Lifting too much weights with Herb?  Are they not getting enough Calcium or Vitamin D ?  Or have we got a few poor kids who have weak bones??

Groan...this is the story I had figured would hit MMQB on April 1st. No such luck.

Keep ignoring that JWill's foot was a CONTACT injury.

Frigging Demarcus Hodge landed on his foot.

340lb Demarcus Hodge.

Correlation still doesn't equal causation, and the correlation isn't even all that strong here.

Could you please show the statistical analysis you used to arrive at this conclusion?  Number of college aged kids you looked at, over how many years?

Thanks.

I traveled to Fayetteville today.
Getting out of my car, I broke my foot.

It's in the local magnetic field I tell ya!

In all seriousness, it does seem like foot breaks have risen for us.
However, I don't know what rate foot breaks occur for other programs.  So, is this just my myopic perspective or is something going on?

My guess is that if this is unusual, BB and others will be all over this.

This is an excellent question, and it's on a lot of our minds today I think.

Yikes.

Ronnie Clark suffered a torn Achilles tendon during Thursday's practice, according to a report by AL.com's Matt Zenitz.

This is is the rising sophomore's second Achilles injury in the past 18 months; Clark, a former safety, tore his other achilles during a non-contact drill in 2014.

Depth is now a serious issue for the Tide.

Clark, Bo Scarbrough and Damien Harris were the only scholarship running backs available when Alabama kicked off spring practice last month.

Yikes.

Worst injury in sports. I feel bad for that kid; imagine having that happen twice! His achilles was like a broken rubber band that ended up behind his calf muscle the first time this happened to him!

Bigger, heavier players in thinner, lighter shoes on harder surfaces equals more broken bones in the feet.

I hate it for the guy, but I'm guessing he's done.
Coming back from one Achilles is huge.
Two?

He'd be special if he does it.
