Derrick Rose all over again! Did anyone see what happened to Michigan RB?

ACL tears, and injuries in general, are completelty random.
While that is true, accident theory suggests that the more you put someone in harms way, the more likely an accident is to happen and the more accidents you have the more likely it is to have a major one.
 
So what happened? Did the muchigan rb get seriously injured?
He hurt his ankle, but he says he will play vs. Maryland.

My point was about D Rose, and the fallacy that injuries can be predicted and avoided. Obviously, you can sit a guy and he won't get hurt, but fear of injury is not the mentality of any coach or player. It's one thing to limit wear and tear; it's another to try to avoid occurrences that our essentially random.

Not completely random. Fatigue plays a part in injuries. I was increasingly worried for JJ as the game went on. If he was half as beat up as his jersey, he will find getting out of bed today tough.
