The Front Row

While Sabino had his best game as a Buckeye lets not get too carried away as he is still a liability in coverage. Sparty had their biggest success over the middle passing so while Williams is a nice change of pace on third downs there is no reason to make a wholesale change. We really just need Grant to get his sh#t together so Storm can become a sideline cheerleader

An isolated, partially torn PCL is a relatively minor injury. painful, but there shouldn't be significant instability, unless the MRI is misread and the PCL is completely torn. Many athletes function well with completely torn PCLs. Partial tears (like TP's), can be dealt with on the field, but the joint effusion (swollen knee with increased fluid) and pain may limit explosiveness, which is key to Hall's game.

He'll play soon, once the swelling goes down, but he won't be the same player for a while.

According to what Meyer said he didn't tear anything...just a strain which is why he is week to week

Replacement is Carlos Hyde, who started most of this year's games and some of last year's. Michigan State couldn't stop him the last 5 minutes of Saturday's game, but some of that was the offensive line play. Very good hands, good receiver, excellent blocker. He goes about 232, a big fast powerful back. Not as elusive as Hall. So significantly different, but in my opinion there won't be any drop off in effectiveness. Effectiveness for me means score differential, not yards gained or yards differential or points scored.

Nebraska fans have always been among the most gracious in the country. Nice to see you posting.

ohchiro - has it dead on. I tore my knee up and learned all to well what each ligament does and the rehab process.
