While Ryan Hamby on Sunday happily discussed his return to health, Brandon Schnittker sat next to him, listening pensively.
Hamby, Ohio State’s starting tight end, has recovered from a torn medial collateral ligament. He practiced Friday and Saturday and is cleared to play in the Fiesta Bowl.
"I’m back, that’s pretty much plain and simple," said Hamby, who suffered the injury in a late-October practice. "(Saturday), we were hitting a little bit and I did every single drill fine, so I’m good to go."
The news on Schnittker isn’t so clear-cut. The senior tailback underwent back surgery Nov. 3 to correct a bulging disk. He’s four weeks into a six- to eightweek recovery.
He’s waiting to hear what the surgeon says when he goes back for a Dec. 14 appointment.
"We’ll find out if they think I’m ready to take a hit and absorb the beating," he said.
Schnittker said he had experienced lower-back tightness for much of October but played through it until after the Indiana game Oct. 22. The next day, he said he felt weakness and tingling in his legs.
The nature of the injury and effect on his future has left him with mixed feelings about rushing to return.
"It’s weighing really heavy," he said. "I’ve talked to my family about it, and we’re just going to wait and see what the surgeon says. If he seems to think that I’m 100 percent and there’s no more risk of screwing the disk back up or any further damage, then we’ll go for it from there."
Ticket scramble
Ohio State and Notre Dame each have been allotted 16,000 tickets. OSU associate athletics director for ticketing Richelle Simonson said she does not anticipate a public sale.
But she also knows that doesn’t mean only 16,000 OSU fans will be in Sun Devil Stadium on Jan. 2, referring to the sea of scarlet and gray-clad fans who made the 2003 Fiesta Bowl look like an OSU home game.
"Because it’s Notre Dame, we anticipate this to be as difficult a ticket to obtain as the national championship year," Simonson said. "However . . . our fans tend to be very resourceful. All those people that were in that stadium that night did not get those tickets through the university. So we anticipate there will be a lot of activity over the next couple of weeks."
Automatics out ?
The Bowl Championship Series guideline by which OSU qualified automatically may be eliminated for next season, BCS coordinator Kevin Weiberg said.
Under the current rules, any member of a BCS conference that does not win a league title gets a berth if it finishes third or fourth in the final standings (OSU finished fourth).
Any independent or non-BCS league member qualifies if it finishes sixth or higher.
"I’m quite certain that rule will be discussed and may in fact be eliminated," Weiberg said. "The more pressure that is placed on the BCS standings to determine outcomes, the more controversy is generated. The feelings among the (conference) commissioners are that to automatically slot at-large teams that way probably is not the best practice."
