What is the status of Israel Abanikanda and when is he set to return?
Israel will miss 2 more games and we hope he comes back fully healthy. We may push his rehab time out another week to ensure he will be fully heathy and not re injure himself.
What makes Bucky Irving so good?
He breaks seemingly every first tackle. He gets so many yards after contact he makes it a problem for everyone. You have to be sound fundamentally to bring him down, and even then it does not always work.
What were some of the contributing factors to the loss this week?
In every game there are a hand full of 50-50 plays. Some break your way and some don't. Some games those 50-50 plays go 80-20 and if it would have gone the other way you might have pulled off the win. We had a few bad breaks on crucial plays and the other team capitalized. Not jumping on a fumble, dropping a 4th down, etc etc. key play after key play was missed, tough to win that way even if you play well the rest of the game
