The And the Good morning, bucknour is welcoming to the bucknuts morning five here on Wednesday, March 27th, 2019.

I am Dave Biddle.

Very happy to be joined by Patrick Murphy.

Patrick bad news to start the show out with.

Fifth year senior Justin Hilliard suffered an Achilles injury. Earlier this week had to be carded off just terrible news you hate to see it was actually Saturday when we were out there for student appreciation day it was earlier this week was very late last week on Saturday. I think a lot of us thought it was at knee when he was

carded off. Just Ohio, you can talk more about this. Ohio State's not staying

for the year. We saw what happened with Tough Borland

usually I hear ruptured Achilles and I'm like well he's done for the year.

Tough Borland suffered his in spring ball last year but just another injury for

Justin Hill. The poor kid can't catch a break, now at fifth year.

Yeah, it's real unfortunate for Justin, as you mentioned.

He's had two bicep injuries, one is a freshman, one is a sophomore, I believe it was on different arms as well so that really

derailed the start of his Ohio State career and then by that time he got back but other guys

ourselves at the linebacker spots and you know last year he was a backup

played some I think he recorded 20 tackles which was the best of his career and you

know was at least in contention with a new linebacking coach in Al Washington and you know

pretty much a new defensive staff players have talked about how you

know getting new eyes on them is giving them opportunities so it might have been a

big shot for just a fist it that we saw it on Saturday when he got carded off, that he sustained an injury and already had surgery.

They didn't say specifically what it was, but it's been reported elsewhere and we've learned that it's an Achilles as you mentioned

the length for that is uncertain like you said Tough Borland came back and

played after having an Achilles injury in the spring.
