Relax. Maurer may not be hurt at all.

I hope you’re right. Otherwise, we seriously need to install the triple option with JJ, Grey and chandler.
Throw 12-15 passes a game and hope u can ring up 250 rushing yards. If Shrout is our only hope, we are in trouble. He’s just not ready to play at this level. Dude really needed a red shirt.
He redshirted last year....

What difference does it make. If he starts next week, he won’t play more than a quarter or 2 before getting knocked out of that one too. It’s 3 games now. He’s not the answer if he can’t be available to play.
I think you’re being too hard on the kid. He’s 18 and not at the weight he will be but Calling him soft is BS. If you can point out 1 other qb that wouldn’t have missed time after the hits he’s taken I’ll say you have a point. But until then I’m going with what I know and he’s missed 1 game his entire career and that was before Hs. That kid is tough as nails but has just had a series of unfortunate circumstances in his first few starts. He’ll learn from them.

Sorry, you are right.

Based of quality of play, he definitely looked like a true freshman! He appears to have a good although not exceptionally accurate arm but has yet to develop the reads and progressions.

He already used his redshirt, last year. Too bad we don’t have a bye week because he needs ALOT more work with the 1s before he’s out back out there.
We have a bye week coming up soon but with Brian healthy we should definitely reach 6 wins

My boy? IS the video fake news because i found it on a bama twitter? You cant be this dumb.


No, it's fake because it didn't come from tonight's game. The Gump tweet that you posted includes a video from a game in Neyland. Notice the orange mats. Also, the Penguins didn't play the Blue Jackets tonight.

A win there wasn’t worth his health nor the rest of our season.

Ending a 12 year losing streak to the current #1 team in the country in their home stadium is a big deal to VOL fans. Had we won and finished 3-9, no one would give a dam about the rest of the season. You must be new to VOL Fandom.......

If I had to guess the reason he was held out was precautionary. If he indeed was concussed last week (even if minor) a shot to the head could make it worse. I personally would rather have him as healthy as possible going into next week and beyond and a (hypothetical) win at Alabama wouldn’t change that.
I tend to agree... took a hit by his lineman... but likely after last week that was enough to pull him. Imagine if he played and then got hurt... bad news for the program.

No win is worth any kids long term health. How long I’ve been a fan is irrelevant when it comes to that. The fact that you feel otherwise is actually alarming.

Harrison Bailey can't arrive soon enough. All 230lbs of him. Maurer is a good QB but is physically two offseasons away.

On the dark side, if he's had 2 concussions in two weeks it could be season ending.
Nobody never said he had a concussion on the first one against Miss St, Pruitt said they took him out as a precaution and he passed concussion protocol. Tonight they said he had a concussion. Meanwhile Jerry Juedy clearly was out for 2-3 seconds and never went to the tent tonight. GBO!!!!!

I was listening to the vol network right after halftime and they were saying neither QB has came back out after halftime.So that doesn’t sound good at all. Plus while he laid there not like last week he felt it right away! You could see him rolling his eyes to the back of his so to speak. That is not a good sign plus two weeks in a row. In my opinion we need to pray for the young man that he gets through these concussions PERIOD...I’m concerned about his ability to even come back from this to play EVER :(

After that, Maurer was taken out of the game and would not return. Head coach Jeremy Pruitt revealed after the game that Maurer suffered a concussion.

Uh, yeah he did.

Weight doesn’t have anything to do with Maurer’s concussions. Cam Newton could have had the same problems if he landed the same way on the two concussion plays. It is just a bad luck issue.
