Did Cig just say that Hoover isn’t 100%? But he wasn’t on the injury report. What are the rules governing that? Is it probability of playing? 

I had a feeling something was wrong last week when I saw him grabbing his shoulder and trying to stretch his fingers. It's pretty crazy that we'd have no one listed as injured after playing 7 games, the most recent one against OSU. Maybe the bar for considering someone injured is just really high, or Cig is trying to play mind games with opposing coaches.

Curious why our injury report was blank then, usually the smallest strain makes a player questionable or probable now (whatever the lowest uncertainty technically is)

Beat me to it. Is it probability of playing? Say a guy has his arm ripped off but he’s 100% gonna wear a prosthetic and go. Are you then good not to report him?

Not sure what the threshold is.  
However,  can BYU be upset by UCF?

[BBTB]

Maybe I missed something but Kobie Martin was not listed on the injury but I don't think anyone mentioned him

Gutty win but that was a rough experience.

Live to fight another day.  One more game and we get to a bye.

I thought it was some guy name Ellison  because his girlfriend  went to Michigan  and begged him to pay him to play there

Well ugly.  However, who would you bet on if Hoover is 100% or near 100%….
Number 2 BYU. vs. IU?

or the current Ohio State?

IU 7-1 just elevated bowl game….with 4 or 5 more chances.

Cig said that Hoover "wasn't 100%". No s*** Sherlock... what was the issue, physically?

So a physically unable to perform Hoover is better than a 100% Wilson? That is frightening. 

I guess this is good news, the only other alternative was Hoover is betting against IU, because you can not play that badly on purpose. 

[Pagoda]

Not many teams have good backups.

Hopefully Hoover can heal up.  Cig said he should.  Cig won’t disclose the injury because he doesn't have to.  We just have to live with not knowing.

Their corners were impeccable today. Good tackling team too

[skhoosier2]

Well I was there and that was the absolute ugliest game to sit through. Great venue. Great seats. Not a bad view. Not sure if Josh is hurt or just bad but until OT he looked awful. Frustrating to me was Lee or Turbo would gain good yards then come out in favor of the other. Defense is ELITE. We survived but I really think we drop in the polls after that one.

A little vacuuming humor for y’all:

Bye week will be good.  Hoover and Khobie should be 100% in two weeks.

We definitely don't have last year's offense, but the defense has been even better than last year.  Giving up just 11 points per game.
