I didn't see him plant his left foot in the ground to throw the ball all night. He's not right. That he threw for 300yds just speaks to how great he is.

He's definitely injured, it's very noticeable when he runs east/west.
Everybody this time of year is nicked up. He's taken some good shots the last few weeks.
Why are people pointing to the fact that he only started limping after Flowers hit him as evidence that he isn't hurting? He's been hit plenty hard before and gotten right back up, like early in the A&M game. The hit by Flowers clearly triggered some soreness for him, soreness that he was likely already dealing with. That doesn't mean he isn't hurting; in fact it's clear evidence that he is.
The fact that he got better throughout the week is a good sign, and hopefully over the next 2 weeks he can get back to where he was during our stretch of awesomeness. We definitely will need him to be at that level. I'm guessing even if he's not 100% for Bama, he'll go all out; we just can't afford to lose him.
Worry less about yours. Your one of the few that runs around on the message board acting like you know what's going on just to inflate your little message board ego. Then you never say what is actually going on until gameday when everybody knows anyway. You go "see I told you so." No, you didn't tell us anything. You alluded to knowing something while never posting what it was to boost your own self importance.
I saw him get his knee hit on one of those long runs aginst KY and he has been limping ever since. I am not sure if it is anckle or knee.
The story I heard at the tailgate before game was that former players who were at practice said he was hurting really bad but yeah he shouldn't play one down Saturday.
Amazing how this has turned from "just limit his play Saturday" to "sit him Saturday" to "well maybe we should sit him for Vandy too depending on Bama".
I expect Dak to start Saturday. I do not expect him to have more than 5 series the entire game though
He is playing at least the first half Saturday. Everyone is blowing this crap out of proportion. The kid is tough. He will play lead us to some TDs and will sit in the second half in preparation for the Bama game on Saturday. He is not injured. He is nicked up with bumps and bruises. There is a huge difference. We will be fine.
By the way, both Rosebowl and Robbie Faulk confirmed today that Dak was walking around without a limp and without a boot.
I didn't see him in a boot the week before kentucky walking around campus but then he was wearing it the week leading up to arkansas. Kinda weird he isn't wearing one now after all the limping he did against arkansas.
But a positive is a positive.
Goat will tell us we are all stupid and that he has inside info soon.
