Although I was a freelance gynecologist in college, I'm no doctor. How bad is a "twisted knee" and what is the recovery time? Do we even need him for SIU?

Re: Boothby
That's a good point... it'd be nice to have him rest up and be 100% (or as close to) for NDSU.Originally posted by Mountain Panther View PostRaised a Hawkeye, Panther by choice.

Re: Boothby
Maybe leave him out in the first have vs SIU and see how it goes. Would like to beat them soundly considering they've beat us three years in a row.Originally posted by casbern View PostComment

Re: Boothby
We need Boothby for SIU, if it was a defensive back that was hurt I would say rest him, but not Boothby. Besides, if Ben Boothby is walking today, he will be playing on Saturday. Not even Farley himself is man enough to tell him he can't go on that field...Illinois State Fan at a St. Louis White Castle 3:45AM Saturday March 6th:
"White Castle?" "more like Black Castle..."

Re: Boothby
Boothby is what makes our defense special. If he's able, he goes.Comment

Re: Boothby
While I think we could MAYBE manage without him out there I think he does a lot of things for that D-Line that go unnoticed. He has to be the focus of every opposing Line Coach/Offensive Coordinator and I think that is what opens things up for guys like Augie, Jordan and LJ to make their impact felt. Take him out and that focus is put elsewhere and we are now 2 players-less-effective.Comment

Re: Boothby
Are the results of the MRI back or is this just in response to Farley saying after the game that he "twisted" it? I hope that is all that it is, but I took Farley's comments as just being a generic term for him hurting his knee. I know for Boothby to be down rolling around like he was, that it had to hurt pretty dang bad...and that to me just seemed like more than a twisted knee. Can someone fill me in if there is official word? I don't want another senior leader to end his career on the sideline (i.e. Lucas O'Rear) Thanks.Comment

Re: Boothby
Farley was asked about Boothby at the press luncheon today.
he said they're "taking it day by day".
so really, no news either way.Comment

Re: Boothby
Of course he did.... One thing I've learned about Farley is that he always plays injuries pretty close to the vest. You would get the same answer from Farley if Boothby was sitting out practices as you would with him going 100%.Originally posted by JayJ79 View Post
Personally I'm fine with it. The less info we give SIU, the better.Comment

Bootbhy could be 100% or have blown his knee apart but no one outside of that locker room is likely to know until game time on Saturday.Comment

Re: Boothby
I'd rather sit him then play him early.
I think starting Branch, Jepsen at DEs, Augie and O'Brien at DTs
Keep them fresh with Eilert and Clark
Maybe give Kromah and Williams a couple plays...

Re: Boothby
your welcome, already. Go about 4:30 minutes in when Boothby talks about his injury. That's all I need to say...
