If I had everybody give me one reason (and one reason only, don’t give more than 1) why the Griz are currently 4-2 and 1-2 in Big Sky play, what would it be? For me it’s pretty simple, injuries. We don’t have our top playmakers and it’s hurting us.
I’m bringing this up because I think a lot of people on here are overthinking this. Sure, we could think of a million different reasons for why we lost the game today, but the simplest reason is the injuries on offense. Now I know some of you are gonna say that we gotta have that next man up mentality or injuries are a part of the game, but it’s gotten to a point where we’re relying on way too many freshmen to try and win us games when in reality their just not ready to even be out there yet.
Now don’t get me wrong, these kids are trying their hardest and giving it everything they have, but if I told you at the start of fall camp that we were gonna have this many injuries midway through the season, what would you have said our record this year would be? Would you have predicted us to win the conference? Because I wouldn’t have. Let’s stop overthinking this and realize that until we start getting guys back, this is what we’re gonna get moving forward.
