MIAMI NOTES
Linebacker coming back strong
Sunday, August 19, 2007
OXFORD — Joey Hudson said Saturday morning that his offseason shoulder surgery went "unbelievably well" and that everything is fine.
He wasn't just being optimistic.
Extras
The junior middle linebacker, who earned All-Mid-American Conference second-team recognition last season, dished out the pain during Miami University's scrimmage at Yager Stadium on Saturday afternoon, coming up with five tackles and returning an interception 18 yards.
Hudson played with a brace on his injured left shoulder for about half of last season.
"It was a gradual thing," Hudson said of the injury, noting that the same thing — a torn labrum, which is an injury in the shoulder joint — happened to his right shoulder in high school.
Hudson finished seven months of therapy in July.
Cook set to kick
Sophomore Trevor Cook connected on 6-of-6 field goal attempts during Saturday's scrimmage, which bodes well for Miami's special teams.
Miami coach Shane Montgomery said Cook, as of now, will handle the team's field goals and extra-point kicks.
Nathan Parseghian will handle the kickoffs.
Injury update
Sophomore Heath Cartwright, who began the summer as Charlie Norden's backup at left offensive tackle, could miss the season with a back injury.
"We don't really know his situation. There's a good chance he's out for the year," Montgomery said of the 6-foot-6, 303-pound sophomore from Westville, Ind.
Junior wide receiver Sean McVay will miss the season opener on Aug. 30 at Ball State with a torn ligament in his left thumb.
Casualties from Saturday's scrimmage were sophomore nose tackle Mark Paun, senior offensive guard Pete Walters and true freshman linebacker Alex Kaufman, the standout from Lakota West.
Montgomery said he didn't know the extent of any of those three injuries. "Hopefully, it's nothing serious," he said.
