A very dark turn for SFA football today.

Foster Sawyer was injured over the 4th of July weekend in a boating accident. He suffered a "significant" injury, not to his long-term health, but in football terms. He will miss 2-3 months.

Goes without saying: a big blow.

Not sure yet. We only got the info on the condition of anonymity. I imagine more will be available shortly.

Ugh, off the field injuries are the worst.

That's a big bummer for the outlook of the football season.

Hope he recovers quickly, sometimes 20 somethings aren't as invincible as they think they are.

Yes, speedy recovery to Mr. Sawyer.

The team will go on as we have some QBs who can play, just lack game day experience.

QB:#15 Ryan Cottingame 6-3; 220 (Jr.) JUCO
G:8;ATT:4;CMP:2;CP%:.50%;YDS:25;TD:0;INT:0/R:2;YDS:4;TD:0
QB:#10 Jake Blumrick 6-2; 202 (So.)
G:1;ATT:0;CMP:0;CP%:.0%;YDS:0;TD:0;INT:0;R:2;YDS:18;TD:0
QB:#19 Zach Truelove 6-3; 195 (R/Fr.)

Yeah, they have almost NO game day experience at this level. Hold onto your butts for the first few games. Hope the running game and OL can allow us to survive for a while while one of these guys learns the ropes. I guess much of the planning that was done based on spring football is now out the window. I have to assume that Cottingame will be the starter, correct?

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss Cottingame or Blumrick. They don't have much experience and are also complete unknowns. Either one of them can step in and light it up. We have no idea what either of them can really bring to the table.

The first few games without Foster actually aren't bad ones.

SMU: I think Foster gave us our best chance due to his FBS experience, but this was likely a loss anyway.
SUU: Whoever the incumbent starter here is will have a good game. SUU hasn't been good defensively the past few years, so I'd expect a good game.
IWU: I still think we win this game by a lot.
ACU: this is where we're going to want Foster back.

Not dismissing any of our other guys, they may be the next Jeremy Moses.

It's just that as an FCS program, Foster is the kind of QB you hope falls into your lap when FBS transfers happen.

Question, does he have 1 or 2 years of eligibility remaining?

One year after this. Word is no redshirt is going to be considered. It's his job to lose when he gets back.

Coaches are pretty high on Blumrick, very athletic.

It's a knee injury which is all I know so far.
