what's the deal with Shoemate?

[mattp]

does anyone know what's going on here? is he still hurt? McCombs looks pretty good, but not quite good enough to carry our entire offense. it'd be nice to give him a breather

i was wondering too. he was shown on the sideline dressed, mccombs is a super back was worn down late.

His ankle is probably worse than anyone is letting on. Someone else here or on Dez's blog is probably right on the money, speculating that the coaching staff over-stated his status and availability this weekend just so Vandy prepared to face both styles (thunder and lightning).

Coach P's comments from yesterday indicate he is anywhere from a week to two weeks away and that might still be a bit optimistic. Ankles really take some time.

yea needed the 3 to 4 yards per carry, when mccombs late could'nt get off line of scrimage
