Tiger Talk Monday

On Saturday, Moore limped off the field early in the game favoring the foot he originally injured during the Illinois game. After sitting out a few plays, Moore returned and played until most of the starters were taken out.

Pinkel said he feels this is the kind of injury that just needs a couple weeks to heal. Lets hope all it needs is two weeks because Moore will be needed when the Tigers head to Lincoln to try to conquer the Cornhuskers on their home turf for the first time since 1978. 

You always worry that an injury like this will linger and become a problem for the entire season. But if Moore does heal completely it could be a blessing in disguise. It's no secret that the secondary has been the achilles heel of this team thus far. Moore's injury will give some of those less experienced players some playing time they wouldn't have gotten otherwise. Oftentimes this is how depth is developed. In the meantime, we'll keep our fingers crossed.

Not all of the news on the injury front was negative. Pinkel was asked about Jeremy Maclin's injury and responded by telling the crowd that he is fine and back at 100 percent.

The players on this week's show were Chase Coffman and and Jaron Baston. When asked to tell one thing people probably don't know about his teammate, Baston claimed that Coffman is constantly bullying him and cited an incident earlier this afternoon as an example. In a class that Baston and Coffman have together, Coffman apparently convinced some of their classmates that Baston is Guitar Hero buddies with Blue Springs native (Baston's hometown) and American Idol winner David Cook.

A Chase Daniel for Heisman View Master (which I've been dying to get ahold of) was given out as a prize to the winner of tonight's trivia question. Unfortunately, a member of the Antler's appeared to have been the winner.
