OSU notebook: Wilson could return for bowl

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

There is an official estimate for when Ohio State defensive end Lawrence Wilson might return, but he apparently hasn't heard it.
Wilson suffered a broken tibia, the weight-bearing bone in his lower right leg, during the season opener Sept. 1 against Youngstown State.
Coach Jim Tressel said Wilson might not be able to return during the regular season.
"If we earn a bowl opportunity, that would be probably the realistic situation," Tressel said. "Not that it couldn't happen prior to that."

After tough break, Wilson is healing
St. V-M graduate injures leg but keeps involved

By George M. Thomas Beacon Journal sportswriter

Published on Friday, Sep 28, 2007

After recording Ohio State's first sack of the season against Youngstown State, defensive end Lawrence Wilson became one of the first to go down with a major injury.

Wilson, a graduate of St. Vincent-St. Mary High, broke a leg, but he didn't allow that to break his spirit. After realizing that he would miss a lot of action, his thoughts immediately turned to his teammates.

''That's my No. 1 priority. Helping Rob (Rose) and Cam (Heyward),'' he said. ''Helping our defensive line be ready and helping it be the best defensive line in the country.''

''What (doctors) told us (Tuesday) morning was that realistically, if we were able to earn a bowl opportunity, that that would be probably the realistic situation,'' coach Jim Tressel said. ''Not that it couldn't happen prior to that.''

Wilson said the thought really hadn't crossed his mind until asked about it.

''We haven't talked about it yet because it's still early,'' he said. ''We're just going to play it by ear and see what the doctors say.''

Ultimately when he comes back would be up to him, Tressel said.

OHIO STATE NOTES
Wilson gets lift from OSU fans


By Doug Harris
Staff Writer

Saturday, September 29, 2007

Defensive end Lawrence Wilson hit an emotional low after breaking his leg in the opener Sept. 1, but Ohio State fans made sure he didn't stay down for long.
The junior from Akron has been inundated with e-mails from well-wishers since fracturing his right tibia (the larger of the two lower leg bones) and having a rod inserted surgically to stabilize it. OSU set up a link on its Web site for fans to contact Wilson, and a school spokeswoman said she's printed more than 1,000.
"They're coming from California. They're coming from Texas," Wilson said. "They're saying, 'The whole Buckeye country wants you to get better.' I thought that was real nice. They didn't have to do that, and I really appreciate all the e-mails."

To Moose's point, why would we play him in the bowl? He's probably no better than a Heyward or Rose by that point with the extended time off, so why not save the year of eligibility? I don't get it.
