How does Denard heal and recover between games?

Submitted by snoopblue on

Denard played great the past two weeks but took a beating and is probably VERY sore today. How do you think he heals his body? He probably takes an ice bath daily, but does anyone know if there is a hyperbaric oxygen chamber in Schembechler Hall? A lot of NFL players have them to recover (T.O., Tim Tebow, etc.) and although it may seem pretty extreme to use on a college player, HAVE YOU SEEN THIS KID PLAY!? It definitely helps with swelling and bruising. What are other sports medicine healing techniques?

Anyone with more KNOWLEDGE or inside information on this topic please reply!

Just so people know, he's not the first player his size to carry the ball 30 times per game. Ok so he's a QB. But how is he any different than a 6ft 195lb RB in terms of how he gets hit? Of course he could get hurt. But I'm just not that concerned at this point. Especially if he can get back to 100% going into the Big Ten season.

He is no different than a similarly sized RB in terms of body type, but he's gotta be able to throw those bullet passes that make him so dangerous. When he is lowering his shoulders on would be tacklers, it takes toll. He is a tough kid though, I think people missed this but on that last touchdown he scored, watch ND #22. He is a little bigger than Denard and tries to stop him from getting into the endzone. Denard lowers his shoulders and just plows right through and over him.

Okay i'm not great at this, but I know enough html to post pics, change formats, etc. 

Every time I try to preview on this site, I get the "can't display this webpage" message.  When I hit "back", my post is gone.  I certainly won't post in html without previewing first. 

Do I need one of the other input formats for posting html, or what? 

Thx.

Probably the way the rest of the athletes on the team do with ice baths, treatment, and nutrition.  The kid is as close to a machine as there has ever been in college fooseball.
