Favorite draft prospect in some trouble

One of my favorite 2012 draft targets was nose tackle Alameda Ta'amu from Washington. He was drafted in the 4th round by the Steelers, well he was arrested early Sunday morning and charged with aggravated assault, aggravated assault by vehicle and felony fleeing police following a traffic incident. Ta'amu fled police after he reportedly crashed into four parked cars, injuring a woman in the process. Ta’amu has yet to play this season. Thanks to GBN report

Bad to worst on Longhorn Injury Front

Well from bad to worst. Longhorn pass rusher Jackson Jeffcoat will miss the rest of the season. He suffered a right pectoral injury during the OU loss Saturday.

Texas' depth along the Dline was already in bad shape, this does not help. This should mean Jeffcoat will return to Austin next year instead of opting for the NFL Draft.

Brandon Moore was carted off the field with a neck injury was released from the hospital Sunday with all test results coming back normal.

Also on the injury front, test have confirmed QB David Ash has a broken wrist on his non-throwing arm and will be out for 2-3 weeks according to sources. He has not been officially ruled out of the Baylor game but Case McCoy should start for the Horns. Keep an eye out for freshman Connor Brewer to get some snaps as well.
