Drake only 3 weeks? With a fractured right arm? Man. That's great news. I figured he was done for the season. His arm snapped back pretty bad. And that's the arm he prefers to carry the rock with. 3 weeks sounds like a miracle!

Fitzpatrick worries me. Brown really played well when he came in. But we need our studs on that side of the ball.

Surgery for Drake on Sunday

 

[RollTideRandy]

University Orthopedic will slide a pin into his arm, wrap a cast around it and he will be good to go.

Fractured arm is about the best prognosis you could have hoped for. He would be out a lot longer if it was a wrist or an elbow.

Man I hate that bad luck for Drake. Bless his heart, he was just getting his wheels back under him when this happened.

 

[colbyjacks]

3 weeks seems like a really quick recovery time. I thought the surgical route would leave about a 6-8 week timeline? That could be just in time for the playoffs.

 

[rick4bama]

best of luck to all of them!

Well out 3 weeks would mean out for cupcake, Auburn and SECCG, which would really mean he would come back for the bowl.

Al.com says Foster left with a cast on his wrist.

Wow if Drake is back in time for January bowl games thats amazing. I thought for sure he would be done. Good for him.

So to what degree does an arm cast affect a running back?

I know it isn't one of our guys but any word of Wilson? Gave me a bit of a scare there.

Mullen said he didn't think it was serious in his post game presser.

How about Coach Nick Saban's nick on his left face. Did that happen during the game or was it something he said to ms Terry that he shouldn't have said.

A'Shawn hit him on his way to the field on the quick subs package.

Wilson suffered some kind of neck injury. Hope he's okay.

Must have been A'Shawn's belt buckle.

Actually, was wrong on that, it was Jon Allen that hit Nick. See the end of his post game last night, pretty funny for such a curmudgeon as Saban is supposed to be.

Yeah, me too, he may not play for Bama but he is an Alabama kid. I never really like to see someone get hurt, unless their name is Fairley or Pugh.
