Johnson said when asked about the health of the team that it was "Not good", and said "we're not very healthy".

Maybe TaQuon or Braun is out? TaQuon got dinged during the Louisville game but they thought at the time it wasn't serious. I don't remember other injuries.
 
I think TQM is playing with an ankle injury. And he probably tweaked it again last week.

How do you figure that? We have only seen a few pass plays from Oliver. He is a great athlete, but I worry he'd be like a baseball pitcher who can only throw a fastball.

I think we beat Duke with Oliver in the same way we beat VT in 2016 (they practiced for QB1 and got QB2). I think Oliver will look good enough that he gets the next start. Count me as one of the very few not convinced by the last two games that TaQuon is any better than the previous 15.

I don't think we've seen enough to be "convinced" but we certainly ran more plays that he had to read that we have all season. That could be because L'ville's defense sucked, or it could be because CPJ has been more hands on with the QB these past few weeks.

I suspect we will know more after Saturday.

It's mid-October. No team is very healthy right now.

Only Duke and UNC normally get favorable scheduling before playing GT so they can get healthy.

And, of course, the Gaggers to our east have that juggernaut UMass the week before playing us.
 
Duke's got more injuries than we do.

Just saw where Taquon stated in an article that he was the healthiest he's been all year. I think it was in the AJC so it has to be true.

It must be that gimmick offense that Cutcliffe won't change.

UMass is still capable of injuring a few key starters.

That was in a response to a KQ question, I think. You've always got to take CPJ's response to KQ's questions with a grain of salt. Half the time he's just trying to annoy KQ, and he ladles on the sarcasm pretty thick whenever he thinks KQ is asking a question he already knows the answer to.

Any of Duke's recent injuries key players?
