I hope Patterson and O'Neal can step up. Russel was playing some real good football and there was a noticeable dropoff in play when he went out.

Here is to a speedy recovery.

You nailed this one OSU Heres to a speedy recovery to Anderson.
I could see the difference when O'neal went in. he needs to get better Fassst. He did seem to better as the game went on.

Tressel Press Conference last night.

And I believe the medical redshirt is if you play more than 1/3 or 1/4 of your season you no longer qualify for a medical redshirt.

It also could be X amount of quarters

Definition of a "Medical Redshirt"

 Source: Hokie Huddler 11/13/98 Vol. 16 No 10 Pg. 7

​
Though often called a "medical redshirt" by sportswriters and sportscasters, the actual term is a "medical hardship waiver". The concept goes like this: Every student-athlete who meets the minimum academic standards coming out of high school gets four season of NCAA Division I Competition eligibility in each sport.

​
If a student-athlete is injured during a season and cannot return to competition, he or she may qualify for another opportunity to utilize that season of competitive eligibility.

​
To receive a medical hardship waiver - in any sport - the injury must limit the student-athlete's participation to no more than 20 percent of the team's contests (rounded to the next whole number), with all participation occurring in the first half of the season.

​
Therefore, for a football player, the maximum number of games that he can play in and still receive a medical hardship waiver is three (20 percent of 11 equals 2.2, which is rounded up to 3), and none of his time on the field can occur after the fifth game (the sixth game of an eleven game season is considered in the second half of the season).

​
In the case of a 12 game regular season (ie. Virginia Tech's 2000 home schedule), none of the player's time on the field can occur after the sixth game. The seventh game of a 12 game season is considered in the second half of the season.​

Those rules are not set in stone, and OSU can still petition the NCAA for a medical redshirt. Doesn't mean they will get it, but it's worth a shot.

OSU can petition, but I have never heard of a player involved in more than 3 games getting a medical RS. And I am not aware of any 'special circumstances' that would work in our favor. After all, pretty much everyone chasing a medical has an injury of some sort.

JamO is a puzzlement. Coaches were high on him last year when he was in the nickel package. Seems odd that he could compete for the spot last year and drop on the depth chart this year after we lose 4 DBs.

There is no reason we should stumble in the next six weeks based on the loss of a single player (we have been INCREDIBLY lucky in the injury department). In those six weeks Amos, JamO, Patterson, Coleman - SOMEBODY will step up.

I agree.

Very tough lost with Russell, he's played great this year.

No better time then now for someone on the D to be groomed into his position though.
