Harris hasn’t been on the field since leaving in the first quarter of the N Texas game.  

I’m not optimistic we see him anytime soon either. And even if we do Cig mentioned he’s only practiced about 20% of the time since he’s been here. What impact can we expect him to make at this point?

That was my tongue in cheek joke

Just watched the Turbo injury. That wasn't called a late hit?? Okay, cool

Out of curiosity, have we heard anything more on the timeline of Martin returning other than “mid-season?”

Officiating was inconsistent trash.  Sounds like Cig was ready to rip their head off.  Wouldn’t even tell him why they calling the penalties at the start of the game

High Ankle Sprain for Turbo per CBs sports

[Magnanimous]

Aiden Chiles was a problem for us last year as well.

We may not look as good this season but (1) last year’s roster was the greatest team of all time :{ and (2) Seeing truly great teams will continue to be a rarer occurrence going forward. Teams don’t have depth anymore. We’re still one of the more talented and balanced teams in the country. Just need to iron out some details.

Best case scenario would be back for Michigan.  Realistically probably won’t see him till USC. 
 

Probably right in the same ballpark of Martin. 
 

Somebody needs to to step up

I heard 6-8 weeks the day after he got hurt. Haven’t heard anything since.

6 weeks is OSU. Regardless, good news is he and Turbo appear not to have season ending injuries. We need to hold serve and hope our 4th Rb steps up behind Bebee until Martin and Turbo come back (I.e., Martin last year).

Rittenberg's latest article is more optimistic for Turbo.

I wouldn't expect him playing Rutger, maybe things improve in practice/recovery where Nebraska is a possibility. Ankle sprains aren't a cut and dry injury or timetable.

Modern medicine is great. 
The fact that Rutgers is a possibility (although I doubt we risk it), Nebraska seems certainly doable. Very good news all around though.

Even getting Turbo back pre-OSU on a strict 7-10 play pitch count would be nice just to give Beebe a blow. Otherwise I’d expect to see them try out some out-of-the-box stuff with the WRs. Either way the ball is going to be in the air more until the RB room is back to at least 2 guys.

Henry Ohlinger was a hell of a RB in HS too, fwiw. Moving from LB to RB worked out ok for Stevie Scott back in the day imo.

Trying a couple end-arounds to a non-Marsh or Becker WR in motion would be a nice wrinkle.

Agree.  I’m hoping Khobie’s bone healing is fairly predictable (I think it is) and once it is… he should be ready to roll.  He’ll have a little bit of rust and conditioning to fix… but that’s doable.

[skhoosier2]

Good news. Hoping we survive the next two road games and have both available for OSU
