LaTech would have been his fourth game of the season. I think he was not allowed to play against Incarnate Word due to a violation of team rules.

I was afraid this was the news and hate it for this young man.  We are deep at RB, but none are the type of runner Easly was/is.  Time for Mr. Smith and Mr. Torrey to shine.

This sucks..Hope he recovers smoothly. Smith and Torrey need to step up. Especially Smith, since I'm sure he is hungry for the starting job. I think we'll see a lot of passing, but we need to continue to run these guys.

Hopefully we get to see some Evan Johnson too. He was solid last year and I think could still help us on offense.

So after losing our true power back, I definitely think we're gonna go more pass heavy.

Get these guys out in space and let them work.

I think Deandre Torrey will be able to handle much of what Easly was doing and Smith is still and agile in-between-the-tackles runner. As far as the trucking ability goes, Torrey comes the closest.

This is bad. Really sad for LE himself. It was also particularly horrible because we really could have used him in quarter 4 on Saturday.

That said, in terms of the next game the timing isn't as bad as it could be, as UTEP should be the right opponent to test which RB can be the new workhorse. This is a challenge for all the remaining RBs to step up and stake a claim for a bigger role for themselves.

Knowing his prior medical history, I suspected as much when he was helped off the field. The appearance of the leg was a giveaway. Prayers to you for rapid healing and rehabilitation, Mr. Easly.

Prayers for this young man's speedy and full recovery.  Sad to lose any player to injury.

Oh boy 😞

I don't think any of us are surprised after the way he left the field.    Easly was the only guy that has been able to grind out a yard or two from nothing.    Time to see what else we have on the roster.   Wyche seemed to be a more balanced runner in the past.     And, we have 3 backs 6' or over and over 200 lbs on the roster (Hopkins, Doggett, Adebayo).   I am at least a little familiar with Hopkins.  I don't know a thing about the other 2.  

Smith and Torrey need some space to let their talent show.   I am not confident in either when a yard or two are needed on 3rd or 4th down.

Good luck Mr Easly.  Thanks for your contributions this year !

this really stinks, Easley was starting to shine. Hope the young man gets better and is able to make a return, when healed.

      No one watches the Bowl game either....yet there they are. Given the numbers in the G5s and the markets we're in, I would think more eyeballs would be available for a G5 playoff vs FCS.

      Pretty sure the auto bid is going to go away after 2026 anyway.

      Impressive ECU win

      I don’t think they were ever that valid except for top 15 teams. The New Years 6 Bowls were the only bowls that had history you average player at that time relished playing in. The bowl tie-ins are convoluted now. It used to be that if you won your conference or got second place you knew what bowl that level of accomplishment would send you. Now you don’t have a clue. Look at Army and Navy from our conference. Army should have gotten a more prestigious bowl and opponent than Navy. (Remember Bowls were assigned before the Army vs Navy game and Army is our conference champion).

      Would You Really Rather Talk NIL/Transfer Portal

      Definitely a HUGE part of it but lots of other programs that don’t win consistently have better game day participation by their students for on campus football games. It just a lack of vision by our university when it comes to athletics in general. The new stadium should have been more centrally located than Fouts or just built on top of it. I pushed back and others calling our students “weirdos in another thread. General it seems like the Adminstration doesn’t understand the harder you make it to get to games that we don’t win the fewer the amount of people/students will show up. If DATCU was across the street from the SuperPit or in the footprint of the old Fry Street area, I think you would see an average of 10% more students actually inside the stadiums. The Fry Street area would have been harder to acquire and building within the Fouts (and adjacent parking lot) footprint may have required borrowing another stadium for a year or two. But it would have been worth it in the long term and significant because it would be a symbol that athletics are an essential part of the experience they want to provide traditional on campus students. Winning helps but fixing the culture takes more than just that. And fixing the culture is the only way you can have a down season or two that doesn’t turn into 5 or 10 bad season.
