OSU: RB Elliot, QB Barrett undergo surgery
From the Columbus Dispatch, Ezekiel Elliot will miss spring practice after wrist surgery scheduled for Friday. JT Barrett had surgery this week to remove screws from the ankle he broke in The Game; he's expected to throw in spring practice but won't be at full speed until mid-summer.
That said, we're still 283 days, 14 hours and 33 minutes* away from The Game, assuming a traditional noon start.

Good thing they aren't backup safeties. These would be career-ending injuries.

Next 3 guys up! While UM rebuilds for a decade, OSU grooms talent like they're Tom Emanski's brother...Tim Emanski.

I haven't heard that name in 13 years.

HOW DO YOU MISS THE CRIME DOG'S ENDORSEMENT?

Or that kid throwing the ball in the backstop bucket from the warning track?!

Where do you think Dude Perfect learned his tricks?

That kid's throwing heat. I wonder what he could do if he wasn't 5 feet from the plate.
February 18th, 2015 at 9:33 AM ^
I'm going to go ahead and guess he'd still be throwing 77.

Seriously...this might be the one team for which injuries are a blessing.
Another QB down? That's OK, our 4th stringer's little sister can chuck the ball reasonably well...and the first female QB in B1G history goes on to win the championship of the galaxy!

Could you cut this out please?
February 17th, 2015 at 11:00 PM ^
Why does that upset you?
February 18th, 2015 at 12:48 PM ^
The acid or mushroom use that lead to that post
February 17th, 2015 at 10:33 PM ^
but many bruises and tears come the end of november.
February 17th, 2015 at 11:15 PM ^
Negged bc I read 'tears' as in ACL/MCL kind of tear not crying tears. Upvote incoming.
February 18th, 2015 at 9:16 AM ^
so no problem. indeed, i meant 'tears', as in rhymes with beers.

Has Braxton Miller confirmed he is returning to Ohio State? I just think this is gonna be a very bad situation, Usually it wood be good but 3 qbs who have all started and contributed to them. If Cardale gets benched after winning their 3 biggest games and stayed I can guarantee he will throw a twitter tantrum.
February 17th, 2015 at 11:32 PM ^
Can you guarantee that?

It seems at least possible, no? It happened
February 18th, 2015 at 12:56 PM ^
A lot of stuff that I wouldn't personally guarantee seems possible.

I would hope that Cardale/JT/Braxton knew the risk after the 24/7 media coverage that has been given to it. It is no secret that OSU has 3 starting-caliber QBs, and two will have to be backup, but they also know that there's always a chance they'll come in during injury relief and continue without missing a beat.

I have been wondering about Miller, assuming he stays at OSU. I have my doubts his NFL future will be at QB. Could he plan to be transitioning to another position?
As for Barrett, hopefully he will return to what he was before his injury, but dislocated ankles are serious injuries. Of the three QB's, Jones has the best arm and I'd bet he will be the starter.

want you at 100% when we kick you ass
February 18th, 2015 at 8:26 AM ^
Who?
(reference to the RB comments when asked about Michigan hiring Harbaugh)
February 18th, 2015 at 8:35 AM ^
Michigan football will be breaking more OSU bones next November.
