Every season, injuries squash the hopes and dreams of young men trying to make it on to the big stage. Left alone, injuries congest the possibilities of football championships, of winning conferences and the like.
Injuries are nothing new. Yet at the same time, injuries have plagued the game this season, in both the NFL and NCAA college football.
In the FBS Division I, there are 128 total teams. According to StatFox.com, going into week three of the college football season, 116 of the 128 total teams have substantial injuries within their program. Some players are out just a few weeks, while others are out for the season.
