UTSA running back David Glasco II hasn’t been ruled out for Saturday’s game at North Texas.

But UTSA coach Larry Coker on Monday acknowledged concern over what he described as a case of plantar fasciitis in one of Glasco’s feet.

The plantar fascia is the tissue that connects the heel to the toes. A strained plantar fascia can result in swelling in the tissue, which makes it hard to walk or run, according to information on webmd.com.

Glasco, the team’s leading rusher, hurt the foot two days before UTSA’s Nov. 9 home game against Tulane. Because of the injury, he sat out the Tulane game, his first miss of the season.

“He did a little bit yesterday (in practice),” Coker said. ”The rest of the guys are fine. (Running back) Evans (Okotcha) was fine. (Defensive end) William Ritter was good. Everyone was there. But David, I’m a little concerned about. He practiced, but he was not full speed.”

He won't fully heal until after the season. He'll have very little impact on the NT game with that injury. It wouldn't have mattered, IMO. NT will win running away...

Huge loss for UTSA if we cannot count on Glasco to carry the load. He will have to chose whether or not he can play through the pain. We have some capable backs behind Glasco including 5'4 Armstrong who had the 68 yard TD run vs Tulane. Our #1 WR actually has more rushing yards on the year than the 3 backup backs and has 4 TDs. If you have ever watched UTSA you would know that this is an unorthodox offensive and its hard to identify the ball carrier with all the fakes, motion, reverses etc.

I think I currently have plantar faciitis.... my heel has been hurting on and off (mostly on) for the past several months. Hurts like hell to put weight on it, especially in the morning. But it is not debilitating. As the day progresses, the pain becomes bearable. Running during the heat and adrenaline of game situations shouldn't be an issue. Limping will be more pronounced on the sidelines between possessions, and after the game.

I wouldn't consider plantar faciitis as a "go" or "no go" injury. It can be played through. The following morning will be hell, but by that time, the game will have been won, and the smile will be all worth it.

Plantar faciitis is not something you should just try to "tough out" or "run through." You can actually cause more serious issues such as bone spurs in your heel which then requires surgery to fix.

You have heel spurs, not plantar facitis.

Bottom of foot verses the back of the foot. Big difference. Plantar is much more painful, so I hear.

Ask Shaq, Kobe, Tim Duncan and Pete Sampras about how easy it is to "play through" PF. As well as many more high-level athletes and not a guy who runs.

      Keebler has to go!

      Agreed. I would only do it again for a huge name that would excite the fan base, but make the contract heavily based on incentives over guaranteed money. For the Morris-type hires, three years with triggers to extend the contract automatically, like a conference championship buys the coach an extra year with a slight raise. Otherwise it is an annual discussion and negotiation.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I would have already fired Morris but if he stays it needs to be with several conditions. 1) hand over play calling duties to an OC, either bringing in someone or elevating Davis or Cobbs to the position. (I think Davis already has the title but we know it is meaningless). 2) bring in a new ST coach 3) replace the strength and conditioning staff. Too many injuries this season and the team is gassed by the end of the game and getting steamrolled. 4) new DC needs to run a system that can stop the run and must be able to adapt throughout the season to account for opponents and personnel losses. And all of the above needs to be overseen by the AD’s office. And no contracts for more than one year. Obviously this means replacing most of the staff, which at its core means we should really fire Morris and bring in an experienced HC who already knows how to build a staff. But if we are being cheap, at least the assistants don’t require buy outs. I would also like to see the AD renegotiate Morris’ contract to reduce the base salary/buyout and increase the incentives for accomplishments, including bowl wins and championships.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.
