Fisch just stated on Dakich that we maybe a little short handed tonight.  He wouldn't elaborate but stated that Coach Allen should be announcing it before the start of the game.  Anyone know what he is referring to?  Hopefully its not our QB?

Dakich also just tweeted he was waiting to see who he bets on until he hears the injuries news from TA, because it's "not good".

I think Fisch is the best, but I'm sure TA really appreciates leaking this info.

Kinda what I was thinking. Probably a reason he was waiting until game time to announce it.

Definitely getting the feeling it’s either Whop or Ramsey. Fisch didn’t even mention Ramsey on the show and I think there’s a reason behind it. Once again, we can’t catch a break!

Even more encouraged about the turnout as the day goes on. But sheesh I didn’t know about any big injury. Yikes. 

[JaybobHoosier 11,843]

Darn it! Wonder who it is?

I could be wrong but I thought Fisch mentioned Whop as if he was hoping for a big game from him, which leads me to believe its not him.  However, Fisch did not make any mention of Ramsey the whole interview which seemed weird.  The only other thing is that he did mention the he hoped for great things from our OC tonight in his last game with the Hoosiers and I can't imagine him being that positive on that front if the injury was to our QB? So I am a little conflicted on this as of now but it was really odd that he didn't even mention him at all!

Wish they'd just come out and say who's injured, or don't say anything at all. Really don't like the way they've handled this.

I got the same vibe...if I had to bet, it’s Ramsey. From all the hits he’s taken this year I imagine it finally caught up to him. My guess is something with his ribs or hand. I was at the Purdue game and he kept holding his hand almost nearly every play and grimaced between each play.

I believe it’s just the Stevie news.

I believe it’s just the Stevie news.  

I hope you’re right but nobody really expected him to play anyway, right? Was always listed as doubtful. Fisch did mention Sampson James being healthy and Matthew Bedford as well...so I could see him alluding to Stevie not playing but kind of softening the blow by saying these other guys will be healthy so it shouldn’t be too big of a loss.

With the 92 minute delay in the Boston College/Cincinnati Birmingham Bowl, that game is obviously not going to be over before Indiana/Tennessee starts.  Any mention of ESPN moving that game to another of their networks?

Gator's got pull

[RaceToTheTop 25,624]

Would seem that if James and Walker are taking snaps with Ramsey and Scott is with Tuttle, it would seem like Ramsey would be a go and Scott is not.

Tennessee has pull.  More Volunteer fans will watch that game than Boston College and UC combined.

[Josh 12,622]

Scott is warming up?  So where is the talk that he's not playing coming from?

He’s been listed doubtful for weeks. Didn’t play against Purdue and was limping badly then.

Allen has had guys warm up and not play previously.  I think he tries to not give opponents any time to prepare for personnel.

[Josh 12,622]

So it's just speculation?  Cool, thanks.

There was a lot of IU gear at Disney today.  We should have good representation tonight
