Alex Bars out for the season

[irish4life888]

Just confirmed, that sucks.

 

[francade]

What a shame. Feel awful for the guy. Damn it!

 

[chaseball]

Just lost our best offensive linemen ... if there's one position we can lose a stud at and still be in playoff contention it is OL ... best recruited position on the team ...

The game ain't fair--------never has been.

Stay with the guys Alex-------they need your leadership.

Huge loss. 2nd best player on O?

 

[NotreDomer1]

Best graded offensive player on the team. This will hurt.

 

[IrishHerb]

Being a former OL myself, I hate it when an OL goes down with an injury.

 

[Zorich 88]

Next man in!

 

[Kraftwerk]

Let Wimbush get a shot!

 

[NotreDomer1]

5th game. He’s done at ND, right?

yep

 

[VTND]

Can’t remember the backups name but I believe he is a senior that has played some in the past. On the bright side he had some meaningful game time snaps and will have all week to prepare.

Really ?

You use this thread for that ?

Are we still able to compete against a front seven like Alabama’s with bars out? I am wondering if this injury will be a fatal blow to our playoff hopes. Curious what others think. I feel we have a national championship caliber team , but injuries are piling up.

not sure if they could with him. the o-line probably is the deepest position group on the team. they'll be fine going forward. no offense to Bars but it's not like a generational talent like Quentin Nelson was lost for the year. every team has to deal with injuries at some point.

Will Bars qualify for another year of eligibility ? Just thinking if the NCAA did grant another year, it might help his draft status.

Probably not. He is already a graduate student.
