Jewel Hampton Out For Season With Torn ACL

PrintBad news, friends. That scene with Jewel Hampton pointing at the inside of his knee to the trainers is exactly what we feared: Hampton has torn his left ACL and he is officially gone for the year:
This is bad news. Bad, bad, bad news. There is no positive to losing Jewel Hampton. With Paki O'Meara concurrently out with a concussion (and did he ever look out of it coming off the field), Iowa must now turn to true freshman Marcus Coker as the #2 tailback. And sure, it's sort of exciting to see what Coker can do, considering his hype coming out of high school, let's keep in mind that he's a true freshman who has barely practiced on account of a shoulder injury. That is not a redshirt you ever want to burn.
I'd talk about Iowa's depth chart at running back now, but it's not really a depth chart. It's a giant white X on the ground, and 15 feet over that X is a grand piano, dangling from a single rope. And the piano is filled with dynamite and AIDS. Why? Because Angry Iowa Running Back Hating God enjoys spectacle, and he is having an absolutely riotous year thus far, and the horrible limb-mangling deathmill that is the Big Ten conference season hasn't even started yet. Kill us.

A first repair isn’t a good thing, a second on the same knee is horrible.

But he can probably kiss his NFL dreams good-bye. Two repaired ACLs probably doesn’t translate well onto too many draft boards.

Did Gore tear both of them?
I literally know nothing about his college career. The only blown knee example I could come up with was McGahee.
by The Mexican't on Sep 21, 2010 5:22 PM CDT up reply actions
Yep,
Like Jewel, had ACL tears in both knees. IIRC, was only an ACL in each, while McGahee had nothing holding his knee together except for his Patellar tendon. Just a gruesome, gruesome injury that was.
by The Nihilist on Sep 21, 2010 6:20 PM CDT up reply actions
And he still got drafted in the first round and had a good, healthy career.
In the past 10 years, just four team owners have not paid a luxury tax and are not on pace to pay one this year: Donald Sterling, Jerry Reinsdorf, Chris Cohen (Golden State), Bob Johnson (Charlotte).
Two owners’ teams averaged an operating income of over +$10 million per year while their teams have lost over 60% of their games: Donald Sterling and Jerry Reinsdorf.
In fairness,
both McGahee and Gore lived in the Miami area before college (so I’m assuming they were born/raised there). I think the Cocaine in the groundwater there makes for super-fast athletes, but weak knee tendons.
I have no reason to be, but I’m almost angry that Hampton is hurt again. How did they guy win state titles for two years in high school, and have such a nice freshman year at Iowa, with such vulnerable knees?

Purdue used wide receivers (and our backup QB) in the backfield against Ball State last week because every tailback on the roster was injured in some way.

Man, I feel so bad for this kid
So much promise, gets sidelined his second year, everyone is very excited for him to return this year, he expresses how starving he is to get back on the field and contribute this year, and now he’s out with the same thing but on the other knee. This kid can’t catch a fucking break. AIRBHG, I loathe you.
Yeah, I feel very bad for Jewel. This has to suck horribly for him.
by HawkeyeRecon on Sep 21, 2010 3:20 PM CDT up reply actions
Not only that
but his best highlight of the season, in my opinion, was the MASSIVE blitz pickup on the linebacker during the AZ game. He blew that fucker up. Don’t get me wrong, awesome play, but I wish he would have had some badass run to remember from this season. In any event, I too feel fucking horrible for the kid. Yea, he made a mistake this summer (although it seems more like a wrong place, wrong time thing), but he seems to be a good kid who works hard. Hopefully that is the case, as it will definitely take a lot of hard work to come back from this. But we’re rooting for you Jewel!
Wegher stepped in last year as a true frosh and did okay
Who is to say that Coker or Johnson could not also succeed.
Next man in.
"Have you ever had the Hot Pocket Hot Pocket? It’s Hot Pocket inside a Hot Pocket. Tastes just like a Hot Pocket."
I would fully expect them
to give Coker and/or Johnson some playing time on Saturday, and lots of it. The one upside to this whole mess is that we play Ball State this weekend, right before Big Ten play commences. Give them a bunch of reps, rest A-Rob as much as possible, and hopefully we’ll be somewhat ok going in to Penn State.
This makes sense.

So who still thinks Wegher wouldn't play immediately if he came back today?
We can strike playing time off the list of reasons for him being gone… not that anyone ever really suspected that was the issue.
by KinnickNorthHawk on Sep 21, 2010 3:04 PM CDT reply actions
I don't think he would play
Nor should he. Without practice or training, it would be a dangerous situation for not only the team, but Wegher. You generally don’t just don’t show up and start running the ball against Big Ten defenses.
But maybe you can start running the ball against
Ball State.

How about James Morris?

Do you think he's been practicing on the offensive side of the ball

Doubt it.
Bruce Davis is also out for the year due to ACL surgery (collateral damage from AIRBHG’s attack on Paki), which leaves our LB depth just about as precarious as our RB depth. We have Troy Johnson and Lance Tillison as experienced back-ups and that’s… about it. James Morris may well be called on there.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Ferentz was asked about Morris at RB in the press conference.
Sounds like the coaches at least discussed it, but as said, they need him at LB just about as much as they need bodies at RB.

In all seriousness, this is a cautionary tale for recruiting.
We recruited only one RB in 2006 and 2007 and he left (Jevon Pugh), which is why we’re in the mess we’re in when it comes to upperclassmen running backs.
I understand that recruiting needs are fluid and that it’s an art, not a science… but I can’t think of one good reason why the coaches shouldn’t do everything possible to guarantee that we recruit at least two running backs per recruiting class. As we have found out all too painfully, YOU CAN NEVER EVER HAVE TOO MANY RUNNING BACKS.

but to throw another true freshman to the dogs and expect them to NOT get hurt and SLAUGHTER our depth at RB for the future?
i really think we need to start handing off to the fullback… whoever the heck that even is anymore…

Q. Who is backing up Adam Robinson at the running back spot, is it Marcus Coker?
COACH FERENTZ: Yeah, it’s a little tough right now. We’ve got Adam, obviously, and then right now with Jewel out, plus Jason White is going to be out another week or two would be my guess so that moves Marcus Coker and De’Andre Johnson up.

AIRBHGdammit.
It might just be my slow Interwebs connection, the dizzying game in Arizona, and vacant RB depth chart at Iowa, but it sure feels like we’re back in 2004.
Thats called PIMPIN'

Not Even Big10 Season
Man, these guys just can’t hold up. What’s going to happen when you play a Big10 defense? Oh, I know, you lose your QB.
Or maybe injuries are random and have fuck-all to do with Big10 or non-Big10 defenses. Your call.
You don't seriously believe that they're totally random, do you?

With a 3-0 record, the groundhog pops out of his hole and begins chattering incessantly. This will probably end when he is gunned down by the farmer’s rimfire for the second straight year.

There's only two reasons why a male groundhog ever comes out of its hole
1) Hunger
2) Horny
Hmmm. Don’t see how people are much different.

Rut Ro...
I just heard that Adam Robinson got t-boned in an intersection while riding his moped. He’s fine but he knocked up Brandon Wegher’s sister so he’s out for the season & will likely be transferring to some school in South Dakota. In response Ferentz announced that Vandenberg will be starting at QB and Stanzi will take O’Meara’s place as running back AND on punt coverage. Hopefully we can at least keep it close with Minnesota.
Wow
Jesus Christos… how can we take these hits?

Didn’t our special teams suck bone?

Exactly
This was a win for us but for the special teams melt down. Even giving them the non standard Stanziball, had our ST played half decent this is a win.

It's not the RBs
It’s the line that concerns me. Any decent back can get yardage when the hole is there. Not many holes for our guys last week.

And Robinson doesn't seem to have the speed to take it around the edge

doesnt need it if
our o line holds together…
and stanzi needs to call for a little more protection… we need more fullback play in the age of slight-rb depth

Yes, BUT
we didn’t really try to get it started. Down by 14, we started passing right away. We had multi-down drives in the first half, but they were still dominated by passing attempts, not rushing attempts.

I think the situation dictated that
and I don’t mean the score. It seemed like early Arizona was cheating up and leaving 8 in the box. That dictates passing.
Although I may be remembering it wrong, I’m trying to forget that night.
