maybe there are a few others that can be redshirted or placed on medical redshirt (i.e. Rose-Ivey). Let's face it, with a new coaching staff this is a transition year, a work in progress. Riley & Co. probably have been given a bit of a mulligan this year. It would be nice to have some of our best players around for one extra year. I still think Nebraska can win at least 7 games this season. 2016 and especially 2017 could be special. So shelve some of our best players for the future.
 
No mulligans for a team that won 9 games or more the last seven seasons. Harsh? Yes, but that's why we're not average program. Kiss "the streak" goodbye if we are .500 or lower this season...pretty Rose-Ivey has taken a redshirt and med redshirt already...

That's absolutely idiotic! We have a great shot at winning the West. We match up with everyone pretty well. Illinois might put up some points but we'll easily outscore them. Getting Jack, VV and our linebackers healthy would be the main goal right now. Having DPE might be worth another 7 points/game as well! Our secondary can only get better. Good grief, step away from the ledge people!
 
Gangwish doesn't have a redshirt available nor could he qualify for a medical. Rose-Ivey is a candidate for a medical, assuming his status is as bad as I heard. DPE, no way no how, conference just started and there's a high probability he'll be suited up this weekend.
 
To receive a 6th year, you have to lose 2 full seasons to an incapacitating injury. He lost the 2014 season and since he only played in 1 game so far this year, and I've heard he may not even be back for the Io_a game, if accurate the 2015 season would count as his second lost season due to an incapacitating injury.
 
If a kid isn't gonna be close to 90% healthy the i say do it. Nobody is 100%.
 
With DPI our two losses become wins and this season looks a whole lot different. He sounds like he's ready to go for the B1G schedule. Great news indeed!
 
No. No. No. The entire save a guy idea is terrible. The coaches are going to try to win now and they need to.

This program has been average for years now. What are you talking about?

Agreed. No mulligans for this staff. This is Nebraska. Not Oregon State. Anything less than 9 wins is unacceptable.
 
Well no kidding, dude. No one was even saying they should.

Your hero Mark played a quarterback with a broken ankle one year and a totally messed up foot another year. Don't give me that bullshit attitude.
 
Mark's refusing to relieve a kid with a high ankle sprain in the fourth quarter cost us the Big Twelve Championship.

You won't get anything if you don't reply with some ridiculous post saying something that no one previously even mentioned - but how that's a "bullshit attitude" I'm not sure.

Negative points for bringing Bo into post out of nowhere he wasn't even mentioned 14 posts in - shows how far you're really reaching.

Hey Sledge. I agree with DPE being worth at least another 7 points. That's why I think it's a good idea to redshirt him and let that foot heal 100%. If he his rushed into playing a little too fast then that foot could be reinjured or may linger. It's basically the same injury Taylor Martinez had. Put DPE on the self. If we win the west then who do we play in the champ. game? Ohio State. I don't think this team is ready for the prime time stage. Lets keep our eyes on the future and build for the 2016 and 2017 seasons and beyond.

Source and/or proof on the broken ankle?
It wasn't a broken ankle. It was a fractured fibula. High ankle sprain my ass. Another lie from your buddy Bo. Ask TM or any member of that team. He had the same injury that Ahman Green played RB a whole year with and then was criticized for having an "off year". Little risk of further injury but certainly affected their play.

A 7 to 9 win season including the bowl isn't a wasted season. Lets keep our eyes on the future and build for the 2016 and 2017 seasons and beyond.

Where did you hear this is the same injury as T-Magic? I don't want him rushed either. But if he's good to go, play him.

I understand he broke the bone for his middle toe. Isn't that the same as Martinez?
 
IDK where you're getting your info man. @red rover 70 says they're the same thing.

In the case of X-rays, demonstration of widening of the tibia and fibula 'mortise', a fracture of the medial malleolus, or aMaisonneuve fracture, will indicate an unstable or potentially unstable injury. However, 'normal' x-rays do not exclude significant ligament injury, and in one study, the ratio of diagnostic X-ray to known syndesmotic injury was only one in 17. By contrast, ultrasound may permit the injury to be visualized while the mortise is being stressed.[5] Consequently, a diagnostic modality such as ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)[4] that demonstrates the ligament itself may be helpful, if clinical suspicion remains.[6]

It's a stress fracture where the ligaments are connected.
 
That's why when you have a high ankle sprain you can run forward but side to side motion causes extreme pain. It's stressing or pulling apart the broken bone.

I'm no doctor, but I really think you aren't understanding basic medical terminology. A sprain is a stretch/tear/rupture of a ligament, a break is when a bone fractures/cracks. I'm sure the two could happen together, but a high ankle sprain is not a broken ankle, no matter how much you want to believe it is.
 
After reading your Wikipedia copy and paste, I think we're having what I call a Clinton Issue. You say a high ankle sprain IS a fracture. In this case, IS doesn't mean what you think it does. A fracture can be part of or accompany a high ankle sprain, but if you actually read the whole article, a high ankle sprain does not necessarily involve a fracture.

1st you link to wikipedia, and then you cherry pick the info on it completely disregarding the info that'd discredit you. Like this part, aka the main description:

A high ankle sprain, also known as a syndesmotic sprain, is a sprain of the syndesmotic ligaments that connect the tibia and fibula in the lower leg, thereby creating a mortise and tenon joint for the ankle. High ankle sprains are described as high because they are located above the ankle. They comprise approximately 15% of all ankle sprains.[1] Unlike the common lateral ankle sprains, when ligaments around the ankle are injured through an inward twisting, high ankle sprains are caused when the lower leg and foot externally rotates (twists out).

The part you posted is referencing the diagnosis of the high ankle sprain, not explaining what it is. It's not even saying that a fracture is a high ankle sprain.

Take your medical info very skeptically from red rover.
