How are Guyton and Wilson?

 

[Venson]

Hopefully we will know soon, but I don't expect anything to come out until Monday. I think Guyton will be okay. He can afford to sit for the Rice game. Wilson on the other hand, I don't think he was as fortunate. He was in a walking boot yesterday on the sideline. Hopefully it was just a precautionary measure and it is not serious.

Littrel said in the post game that He isn’t a doctor, but it doesn’t look good for Wilson. He said he won’t be playing the conference championship and most likely out for a bowl game depending on when we play.

Bussey had to come out and have his hand worked on after popping a defender in the face mask after a play.  They taped his fingers up, had him catch some practice throws on the sideline, and put him back in later.  I’m assuming his hand will be okay.  We need him continuing to contribute.

Another reason to rest the core guys vs Rice and play the young guys who have played.. allow Smiley, Jackson, Rutherford to carry the outside WRs.. Hair-Griffin, Duron and them in the slot and Pirtle

I say get a big lead then rest the starters.

Would love to see Mason's Locust Grove teammate/receiver Pirtle get some playing time.  

GMG!

I always thought Pirtle would be one of Mason's go-to guys when they arrived here, due to their years of familiarity. There is still plenty of time for that to happen.

I saw him in the first spring game when they arrived and he made some good questions and one for a TD as I recall.

I think we play the starters for the 1st Quarter to get some work and then play backups. Game really doesn't mean anything other than pride. I think we need everyone as healthy as possible for CUSA Championship game. I would hate to see someone get hurt in a meaningless game.

Players usually get hurt when they are playing not to get hurt.  Play to win.  That is all.

If we can’t get a big lead with guys like Quinn, Smith/Johnson/Tucker and then WRs like Smiley, Jackson, Darden etc.. then we have some big time depth issues.. 

if someone like Fine or another critical piece gets banged up/injured vs Rice it will be a major blow.. just like how we questioned why Fine was playing the 2nd half of FAU.. rest up and win the last 2 games..

I wouldn’t even risk it for 1 Qtr.. people say we don’t have depth, so why risk it when we got the 2 most important games of the year coming up.

[BTG_Fan1]

We already lost 2/3 of the UNT triplets in Wilson and Guyton.. do not want to risk Fine

Agree 100%

[NT96]

Guyton has a mild concussion. No information on how long he’ll be out. Assuming he would be ready to go by the C-USA Title game at the latest.

He played in the Army game, and was targeted at least once.  Incomplete.  Mason threw slightly behind him.

[southsideguy]

maybe we get to see #19 play qb next week?   I don't know why they don't give the guy some snaps in case Fine goes down.  Utep would have been a good game for it.

He did play vs UTEP at the end.. 

[southsideguy]

UNT was up huge, why throw the ball when you want to eat clock? 🤔

[southsideguy]

yeah i understand that but let him throw a few passes in the game.

He should get the entire Rice game to play.. Allow Fine and others to heal up and get ready for FAU, use this ricegame as a bye week and for the staff to evaluate younger guys and as a reward to the guys who have not played much this year. 

No Jeff Wilson, means Smith, Tucker, Johnson will have bigger roles.. Allow Tucker to play and get back into it and not putting him with limited reps in a Championship and Bowl game
