Are we healthy for the Idaho game?

No way of knowing until we see who shows up on the field. SID is not putting out a report and any third party sites are just cribbing practice info off App fan sites.

Sources close to the situation tell me that everyone is a game time decision

Isn't that true of us all? I've always considered myself "day to day".

Mention of most of our injuries running on the sidelines Sunday (from the Monday conf call).

No commit on what their true status is. Doesn't give me a lot of hope. Do hope that Moore was truely fine from the ankle last week.

I hope we can finally see cox back.

I'm sure he feels the same, particularly since half of his senior season is over.

And his opportunity to break the rushing record is becoming more and more in doubt with each passing week.

Yeah, not to mention his shot at four straight 1,000 yard seasons. Given Idaho's run defense, this could be the game that gets him back on track for both.

Idaho is a better team than a lot of sports gurus believe they are. Not expecting to get upset, but expecting to get tested. Don't think they can hang with us for four quarters. We still have to GO PLAY!

Yeah we are going to have pass D tested again. Hopefully our front 6 can handle their run.

Idaho is trying to shove these remaining two FBS seasons up all the naysayers collective behinds. They will be ballin! We'll be ready! Go Apps!

I want to see us play 60 minutes of Offense, Defense and Special Teams. I have forgotten what that looks like.

Some good signs at least:

There's a million reasons why I'm not coaching at any level of the sport, but as a fan who watches 6-8 footballs games a week between the NFL and College, and 1 CFL game weekly . . . (ok quick tangent: that's the first time I've thought about how much football do I really watch every week; Monday night, Thursday night, 2 or 3 games at least every Saturday, 2-3 games every Sunday on average, damn, I'm not sure how I feel about that.) . . . I would not be surprised if Cox, and Burns see very limited action in the early going. If the Apps jump all over Idaho early, like last week, then even less usage for Cox and Burns once the game is under the Mountaineers control. If Idaho sticks around and/or the App offense struggles, I could see Cox and Burns seeing more playing time. That is all contingent on my sincere hope that both of those guys are game ready today.

If Cox is able he will see time in a limited fashion this week. We need to work him back into game shape before the next stretch and that is the plan. We'll see come pregame warmups.

I know this is beat to death, but any news on our health going into the game Thursday?

Last I heard most of the offensive players were practicing Sunday and yesterday. It also sounded like most everyone was out of green on D except a couple, including Law. He did some work but it wasn't a full speed practice for anyone, at least on Sunday. What does this mean? From experience this season, not much. I've mostly given up on trying to estimate anything anymore and am just waiting until I see someone actually playing before I'll believe they will play. Just the way it is now. Sorry, wish I could say more but I've just stop asking.

I want to make it clear I'm not complaining or busting on anyone at all. I know this is not the NFL and they are not required to give anyone any information. And there are always some cases where it truly is a game time decision, as in they have to go through warmups before they will really know. No problem. I've just adopted the "I'll believe it when I see it" philosophy and that's what I will stick with from now on. I kinda look at it like Christmas or a birthday now. Just as you don't know what you get until you unwrap the gift, we won't know who is playing until we see them on the field. And look at it this way. If we don't know then neither does our opponent. And that is a good thing.

This is why I never understood fans complaining about not getting injury information.

Not complaining, I was just curious.
