only hurts our lack of play making ability on the DLine
October 7th, 2013 at 12:05 PM ^
get well Ondre. this really sucks.
October 7th, 2013 at 12:08 PM ^
Get well soon, Peewee!
A really crappy part of this is that he cannot take a medical redshirt because this was the 5th game.
October 7th, 2013 at 1:24 PM ^
I was wondering about this because in the press conference Hoke said they may need to appeal for a medical redshirt. Does that mean NCAA sometimes makes exception to the 30% of the season rule?
October 7th, 2013 at 12:08 PM ^
I wish we could just rub some Oklahoma Joe's on it and make it better big guy :- )
October 7th, 2013 at 12:58 PM ^
+1 for the Kansas City reference.
October 7th, 2013 at 12:08 PM ^
Well, damnit.
Hopefully, his recorvery is full and expeditious. Between the hospital and the staff, he's definitely in excellent hands, of course.
October 7th, 2013 at 12:09 PM ^
October 7th, 2013 at 12:11 PM ^
Huge bummer, hopefully he rehabs well and can come back better than ever. Hate to see him lose out on any development, but next year was his year anyway.
Silver lining (if there is any for an injury) is that if we had to lose our #2 option at any defensive position, NT was proobably the one to do it. Washington is very good, and the games that are most likely to threaten our defense (NW, Neb, OSU) wouldn't see very much of the NT anyway. I could see us moving Henry over to NT for the rest of the season and be pretty much fine.

Earmuffs please.
October 7th, 2013 at 12:11 PM ^
October 7th, 2013 at 12:11 PM ^
It sucks, but I guess every team goes through stuff like this and one can only expect a speedy recovery. Will be interesting to see how Mattison compensates, though, as teams like MSU and OSU will undoubtedly try to establish inside running even more and try to wear down what looks to be basically Washington and, I guess, Ash.
October 7th, 2013 at 12:25 PM ^
Thankfully, Washington is the starter and Ash has game experience. Black/HenryGlasgow should provide well enough dept for the other position that Washington/Ash can get the job done.
Also, I hope Ryan comes back just as good, if not better than before so Beyer can move back down to the line and provide depth there as well.
Wasn't either Heitzman/Wormley/Strobel a NT/DT before? I thought one of them was a tackle size that could still flip-flop back to inside if they HAD to.
October 7th, 2013 at 12:12 PM ^
Just put some tussin on it
October 7th, 2013 at 8:03 PM ^
October 7th, 2013 at 12:13 PM ^
October 7th, 2013 at 12:13 PM ^
Has he played in every game so far? I think if he has only played in <4 games he can still get a medical redshirt.
October 7th, 2013 at 12:18 PM ^
He didn't record any stats against ND, but he played.
October 7th, 2013 at 12:15 PM ^
A heartbreaker. Had the feeling that he was in the midst of quantum leap. Get well, big fella.
October 7th, 2013 at 12:16 PM ^
October 7th, 2013 at 12:16 PM ^
DAAAAAAAMMIIIIT!!!!!! Any chance of a medical RS at this point??
October 7th, 2013 at 12:22 PM ^
No. If it had happened in the 4th game of the season, then he would get a medical redshirt, but since it happened in the 5th game, there is no chance of a redshirt.
Not sarcasm.
October 7th, 2013 at 12:57 PM ^
that bites. Isnt the rule 30% of games played? 4 out of 13 = 30%
Even with the Big 10 championship game 5 out of 14 = 35%
ugh
October 7th, 2013 at 1:58 PM ^
I believe the rule is 30% of regular season games (BTCG and Bowl games are postseason) rounded up.
October 7th, 2013 at 2:46 PM ^
That sucks more than Megamaid.
October 7th, 2013 at 12:17 PM ^
Can't wait till you can walk again.
October 7th, 2013 at 12:17 PM ^
Get well soon, Ondre! I hate it for the guy.
For those struggling with the news:
October 7th, 2013 at 12:17 PM ^
October 7th, 2013 at 12:18 PM ^
October 7th, 2013 at 3:12 PM ^
right?
October 7th, 2013 at 12:18 PM ^
This absolutely sucks. I feel for Pipkins as he was really making some strides, I thought, this year. I hope he can get a medical-redshirt, but more importantly, a complete recovery. This guy is a HUGE piece to our D-line moving forward.
The only silver lining I can see out of this is that Poggi and Henry get to step in more (Assuming Poggi isn't redshirting).
Such a Blow! Get well soon, Pipkins!
October 7th, 2013 at 12:19 PM ^
noooooooooo get well soon peewee
October 7th, 2013 at 12:19 PM ^
doing the Lachman test on his knee, which is never a good sign since all it tests for is a torn ACL.
I feel bad for him. Here's hoping he recovers quickly and without any problems.
October 7th, 2013 at 12:52 PM ^
You almost always do a Lachman's when any athlete reports knee pain. The trainers (or more likely, the lower-extremity Ortho) performing a Lachman's after a knee injury doesn't really provide any hints as to pathology.
October 7th, 2013 at 12:24 PM ^
Who gets those snaps now? True Freshman? Or do we just go smaller?
October 7th, 2013 at 12:28 PM ^
That seems most likely to me, FWIW.
October 7th, 2013 at 1:29 PM ^
Q Wash will probably have to suck it up and take more snaps, with Ash spelling him as needed instead of a true rotation like with Pipkins. I think Henry sticks at 3 tech since Black should be lifted for a bigger body in short yardage situations.
October 7th, 2013 at 12:26 PM ^
Next man up.
October 7th, 2013 at 12:30 PM ^
...go away. Stay away.
Thanks.

Georgia lost their other RB and a starting WR to ACLs Saturday, http://sports.yahoo.com/news/injuries-impacting-no-7-georgias-165708582--ncaaf.html

The AC Elephant is not making this easy on me.
October 7th, 2013 at 12:34 PM ^
Get well Peewee the team needs you and the fans are pulling for you...This is the time that seperates the men from the boys..you can take it easy and gain bad weight and not push hard...or you can come back stronger and more determined than ever..good luck kid

Because he's played in five games...
October 7th, 2013 at 2:02 PM ^
October 7th, 2013 at 5:14 PM ^
How often are they granted after playing 5 games?
