Thought it would have been answered yesterday. Going from Big Ten player of the week to questionable after the game is interesting to say the least.
 
Under 5 minutes left in the game, up 18, he shouldn’t have even been on the field, much less running around with the ball.

I don’t understand the called QB run at that point in the game. Even if he had not suffered a concussion, there is always the possibility his knees could have been hit.

During the press conference, they said Fuller is not close to coming back. There is a concern with McCann, which is bad, since he is our most experienced OL. Neal is a no again. I am sure the answer to this question is a no, but do you think Neal would possibly come back next year, if he was only able to play 3 to 4 games this year? Obviously his draft stock is going to be lower this year due to knee injury questions.

Big guys and knee injuries is always a bad combination. Being ruled out this early in the week without hesitation, I wonder what the odds are we see him suit up at all this season.

You never know. It could be by design to get a full 2 more weeks of treatment and prep with the bye week in there.
 
up by 18 late in the game. a QB with a long injury history runs with the ball. ends up with a concussion. Not smart football.

Did you see the Nevada game???!!!??? They scored 10 points in a minute. How safe do you think the coaches felt with an 18 point lead?!? I sweat that one out until the clock hit zero.
You have to keep the clock running at that point. Run game had tried everything with little success up to that point. Tried a short pass last week to kill the clock and pass was intercepted.
Sindelar probably should have slid.

We needed something like 15 yards, Sindelar was never going to get that. You let Horvath get his 1 yard, keep the clock moving, and punt.

In that case isn’t Plummer a better running option?
 
I understand being aggressive but when your QB has been a paper Tiger health wise and depth is an issue, come on...... When T. Fuller was hurt the spin was "Hey no biggie, running back was going to be by committee any way.......Boy, the running back committee sure has gotten mighty small and the QB Committee is even smaller........

Not real accurate to call a guy who played multiple games with an ACL injury a "paper tiger". Yes, he sat out most of last year but there was no reason to hurry him back given how Blough was playing.
 
I hope sindelar plays but at some point this season it be nice to see Plummer get some action. Even if its playing due to blow out. Don't want him to start next season without any experience.

Not a Knock on ES at all... Just a fact that since his Sr. year in H.S. the guy is prone to get hurt so why are we taking chances with his health???

I suppose we have a trainer now trying to figure out how far he’s willing to stick his neck out
