u/Quiet-Maximum-9941

During the scrimmage today, Jake Maikkula went down with a lower body injury (implied to be his knee) and was emotional on the sidelines as he was taken off.

Obviously nothing official has been announced, but all signs would indicate that this is very bad for the team and for their offensive line moving forward. Jake was projected to be the starting center and the leader of the offensive line.

I am not sure how OU will replace him, as the center is supposed to be the one calling gap assignments and blocks for the tackles and ends.

Very snake-bitten and disappointing as a fan, because all off-season the coaches had been preaching how important offensive-line cohesion was for the team overall, and the offense in particular.
