Didn't think it was that bad... Hope it doesn't cause any lasting issues.
September 20th, 2018 at 1:48 PM ^
He got a series or two against Western, IIRC. Didn't attempt a pass though, all hand offs.
September 20th, 2018 at 4:27 PM ^
That's right. I don't understand how he hurt his knee prior to ND and was held out, played a series the next week against Western, and has now been "upgraded" to questionable status. Did he tweak his knee a second time?
Edit: UMBig11 more or less clarified below while I was posting.
September 20th, 2018 at 6:25 PM ^
Transferring out is the lasting issue.
September 20th, 2018 at 1:40 PM ^
Any news on Solomon and Marshall? It sounded like Marshall was closest to being ready.
September 20th, 2018 at 2:30 PM ^
Solomon is a long way from ready. Marshall is much closer to the field.
September 20th, 2018 at 2:37 PM ^
Ah fucking hell.
September 20th, 2018 at 3:32 PM ^
ouch, solomon remains a huge loss. after flashes last year i figured hed take another step and have a big year. hopefully he can return for the meat of the schedule with wisc, msu, psu
September 20th, 2018 at 3:39 PM ^
well that really sucks, if Solomon is out against Wisconsin and MSU I think M loses both. Sorry to be so negative I just think this defense has taken a step back from last year.
September 20th, 2018 at 1:48 PM ^
But he's "probable" to continue being third string, right? ;)
September 20th, 2018 at 2:31 PM ^
Likely stays third for now. DM has has played well enough to hold on to that second spot anyway.
September 20th, 2018 at 6:28 PM ^
You didn't get the memo: Dylan McCaffrey was ALWAYS better than Brandon Peters.
September 20th, 2018 at 1:48 PM ^
This is interesting, didn’t he play late against WMU? Injury nagging him this long? Hope he gets well soon.
September 20th, 2018 at 2:32 PM ^
Correct, but still limited.
September 20th, 2018 at 5:10 PM ^
I think if he doesn’t transfer in the offseason, he feels he has a really good shot to win the job next year if Shea leaves. If he transfers and Shea leaves, then I think he feels he will have a better shot elsewhere. I hope he stays. Sky is the limit with him. I was re-reading his recruiting profile on here and how highly he was regarded by so many. He started off low rated and finished borderline five star. Dylan started as a near five star and finished in the 200s. Something’s just gotta click for Brandon.
From the profile on peters, thought this was interesting considering Shea was also in attendance: “Trent Dilfer described him as a "freak" at the Elite 11 finals and the "best overall athlete" in a competition featuring the top pro style guys in the country and a few borderline dual threat types. Helmholdt thinks Luck is a good comp in this category.”
They also had a comparison between him and Shea which was probably the difference in the battle this offseason: “
There was one criticism that might carry over to college. 247 thought he was "a tier below" Ole Miss commit Shea Patterson because he lacked "urgency" but thought he "delivered a beautiful football" all the same. They did clarify what they meant with that critique:
…needed to find some urgency within his drop. … When two quarterbacks would go through their drops side by side Peters was always a step or two slower than his counterpart. …From the top of his drop to the completion, Peters is as good as anyone here. He spins it consistently, he's got outstanding accuracy and his receiver always has a chance.”
September 20th, 2018 at 1:22 PM ^
Don't think it matters to ask the question - given OSU's blatant and unrepentant luck, of course he'll be back to100% 1-2 weeks before Michigan comes to town. It's on Michigan to make its own luck for this game, because nothing the star alignment will cause ever ends up being against OSU.
Ugh... Fuck OSU.
September 20th, 2018 at 1:27 PM ^
Looks like people are saying 4-6 weeks. That would put him back well before the UM game.
September 20th, 2018 at 1:30 PM ^
Everyone here is so emotionally damaged.
September 20th, 2018 at 1:34 PM ^
Emotionally damaged is saying it in a nice way. I think we are well beyond damaged.
September 20th, 2018 at 2:59 PM ^
Iit's a BPONE epidemic. I have all the symptoms too. It's a relief that they've at least identified it and given it a name.
September 20th, 2018 at 1:50 PM ^
We’ve been hurt so many times before, man. One can only take so many dong punches before you get really cynical.
September 20th, 2018 at 3:01 PM ^
"Everyone here is so emotionally damaged."
We're the poor abused dog who cringe-piddles on the floor at a loud noise.
September 20th, 2018 at 3:16 PM ^
You say that like it's a bad thing.
September 20th, 2018 at 1:32 PM ^
If Bosa doesn’t play a lot this year, does he still get handed postseason awards he didn’t earn, or was that just a one-year thing? Asking for a friend.
September 20th, 2018 at 1:41 PM ^
Your first sentence is funny, but you're not quite on point with the "asking for a friend" part. You say that when the question is embarrassing for the person asking it. For example, "does insurance pay for Viagra? I'm asking for a friend."
September 20th, 2018 at 4:14 PM ^
I often cringe at the mis-use / over-use of the "asking for a friend" closer. Thanks for providing example of proper context. Thanking you for a friend. Wait, did I just confuse the concept now too?!
September 20th, 2018 at 1:38 PM ^
Being back in 4-6 following suspected hernia surgery doesn't mean he'll be at the same level. Far from it, in fact. He probably won't be able to lift anything for a couple weeks.
September 20th, 2018 at 2:20 PM ^
That's why WildmanT does what they do. Zach Smith was just thinking ahead.
September 20th, 2018 at 1:45 PM ^
While I agree, its OSU do ofcourse he'll be back for M game
BUT
He may pull the new trend of "sitting" out and hitting the draft.
September 20th, 2018 at 2:03 PM ^
The only way I see him sitting out is if OSU is not playing for a title. If they drop to an NY6 bowl or worse, then maybe.
If they're in the playoff, or fighting for a chance to get into the playoff, there's no way he'd sit if he had the opportunity to play. Let's put it this way: if I'm an NFL exec, I'd understand a top-rated player not wanting to play in the Outback Bowl. But sitting out a chance to play for a national title? That would raise some concerns with me about how committed to the game he really is, or if he's just looking for a big payday and not much else.
September 20th, 2018 at 4:50 PM ^
May be. But honestly the tides are changing. NFL cares less. Thats where I see this going. Also he is injured so he can take his time and basically have an "out" to say he was injured and couldn't come back but light draft on fire.
September 20th, 2018 at 1:45 PM ^
Urban is likely to forget who he is once he comes back. Probably have to reintroduce himself to get back on depth chart.
September 20th, 2018 at 2:13 PM ^
This is funny and made me laugh. I'd give you a point, but they don't matter. Where can I mail you a cookie?
September 20th, 2018 at 1:50 PM ^
If he had MSU pharmaceuticals, I'd be worried.
September 20th, 2018 at 1:52 PM ^
It's times like these I like to remember when Columbus was literally covered in shit.
September 20th, 2018 at 1:54 PM ^
I fully anticipate him to be back by the Michigan game, but save for the Penn State game, I don't think this will affect their defense all that much. At least not to a point where it would really matter.
Will be interesting to see, though, how that affects their matchup against Penn State. They've got an amazing DL even without Bosa, but if him being out gives McSorely even a half second longer to survey the field and throw, that could be the difference between a win and a loss. I know OSU has a stupid amount of talent on the DL, but whoever is backing Nick Bosa up is not as good as Nick Bosa. The kid is being talked about as the top overall pick.
September 20th, 2018 at 2:13 PM ^
He will be back for The Game. BKFinest it.
September 20th, 2018 at 2:22 PM ^
"Indefinitely" means 11/23.
September 20th, 2018 at 2:26 PM ^
I remember early in the Hoke-era how we were getting so excited to see our highly touted O-Lineman classes compete against OSU's highly touted D-Line classes in the future....Good days.
September 20th, 2018 at 2:27 PM ^
So is UMs d-line now the best in the B1G? I think so.
September 20th, 2018 at 2:29 PM ^
Probably a sports hernia (not inguinal). It's a tear in the abdominal muscle close to where it connects to the pelvis. I had one before, they put mesh in and I was good 4 weeks later.
September 20th, 2018 at 2:30 PM ^
I hope so; never hope for the opponent to be injured, they are just kids after all.
September 20th, 2018 at 2:32 PM ^
If Bosa is truly out for the next 6-8 weeks, the smart move on his end would be to just call it a career at OSU.
No need risking another injury before you are about to be a sure shot top 5 pick.
September 20th, 2018 at 2:33 PM ^
Agreed. Big pay day coming up.
September 20th, 2018 at 2:37 PM ^
Does it make me a bad person to have hoped for a Junior Mint fiasco in the course of his abdominal surgery?
September 20th, 2018 at 2:42 PM ^
He still will be defensive lineman player of the year over Winovich and Gary.
September 20th, 2018 at 4:02 PM ^
Why would Gary even be on the short list? He's been a non-factor so far this season. 1.5 tackles for loss through 3 games? Like Kiper said in his updated Big Board today after he dropped him, he disappears far too often. Winovich can stake a claim to be right amongst the top.
September 20th, 2018 at 6:23 PM ^
It is interesting that Gary is not having the year most expected. I thought I read he had some health issue before the start of season. Got to be something like that, because he has not been even the Rashan of 2017.
September 20th, 2018 at 2:56 PM ^
I would have liked to see him at full strength when we play them. If victorious, it will be nice to have said we beat them at their best.
That said, I agree with some of the posters here that it's 'next man up' on a different level at OSU and Alabama. They are the only 2 teams that can truly absorb the injury bug.
To everyone else, this would be a disaster.
I don't think Bosa's injury causes OSU to now lose a bunch of games. They may miss a minor play or two that Bosa may have made.
September 20th, 2018 at 3:40 PM ^
Please tell me who, if anyone, was injured for OSU in the 1995 game.
