Baylor RB JaMycal Hasty To Miss At Least Four Weeks Due To Knee Injury

 
During​ ​the​ ​season​ ​opener​ ​to​ ​Liberty,​ ​the​ ​Baylor​ ​Bears​ ​lost​ ​more​ ​than​ ​just​ ​the​ ​game,​ ​they​ ​lost their starting running back as well. Sophomore JaMychal ​Hasty​ ​was​ ​the​ ​starter​ ​for​ ​the​ ​Bears​ ​on​ ​Saturday​ ​and​ ​rushed​ ​for​ ​56 yards​ ​and​ ​1​ ​touchdown​ ​on​ ​11​ ​carries​ ​before​ leaving the game with a knee injury.

According to head coach Matt Rhule, the​ ​former​ ​Longview​ ​Lobo​ ​star​ would miss the next four weeks of the season.

The​ ​injury​ ​to​ ​Hasty​ ​will​ ​put​ ​the​ ​Bears​ ​in​ ​a​ ​bind​ ​because​ ​they​ ​were​ ​already​ ​without​ ​RB​ ​Terrance Williams​ ​with​ ​a​ ​shoulder​ ​injury​ ​for at least the next two games.​ ​The​ ​load​ ​will​ ​now​ ​fall on​ ​freshman running back ​John​ ​Lovett,​ ​a​ ​Rhule​ ​recruit​ ​from​ ​New​ ​Jersey​ ​that​ ​replaced​ ​Hasty​ ​after​ ​he​ ​left​ ​the​ ​game on​ ​Saturday.

The​ ​Bears​ ​also​ ​have​ ​freshman​ ​Trestan​ ​Ebner​ ​listed​ ​as​ ​active​ ​on​ ​the​ ​depth​ ​chart,​ ​but​ ​Lovett​ ​will likely​ ​get​ ​the​ ​start.​ ​He ​finished​ ​the​ ​game​ ​against​ ​Liberty​ ​with​ ​90​ ​yards​ ​and​ ​two touchdowns​ ​on​ ​14​ ​carries.​ He’ll need to carry even more of the load moving forward after t​he​ ​Bears​ ​leading​ ​rusher​ ​against​ ​Liberty​ ​was​ ​quarterback ​Anu Solomon​ ​who​ ​ran ​​for​ ​96​ ​yards​ on Saturday.

Baylor hosts UTSA this coming Saturday in Waco.
