Sounds like some freshman will be stepping it up. Hopefully we can get a couple that will be 4-year starters and play a huge rule on the defense.

I agree, but I think that if somehow he can be practicing in the next 10 days, there is a shot he could play vs. USC. If he can't, and no one else steps up, it could be a very long day for Grixby & NU.

I think it was far-fetched to think he would go right away vs. Nevada, something Cosgrove said would happen a couple months ago. That said, I really do believe that they'll hold him out vs. Nevada, work him in during the WF game, then give him significant time vs. USC.

One more thing: I love when coaches talk about "mental reps". We used to talk about them at my school, and let's just put it this way: there is no substitute for the real thing. Mental reps are nearly useless, you need to be on the field. Obviously his injury prevents this, but I still love the verbage. It's another great coaching saying, mental reps.

his official status right now is day to day

And to quote the great Dan Patrick. "He's listed as day to day, but really, aren't we all?"

Not really.

I would agree, there is no sense in running the risk of re-injury. Fall camp offers little time to repair and rest muscles let alone injuries.

The first priority I would think would be to make sure he is 100% ready physically, the mental aspect for a player who has played JUCO and been here for 3 years now is of little importance.
