Allar was terrific vs Wisconsin before the injury.
Landon Tengwall is confident that Allar has a Grade 1 MCL injury.

It's actually "Hey! Hey! Who the f&*k are you?" and then it appears that he says "sit the f#%^ ..." and then the shot cuts away ... the first part is definite ... the "sit" part may not be correct.
If that what he indeed has, treat the injury with ice during the week, put a brace on the leg Saturday and shoot him up with pain killers before putting him out there.
Rucci did miss the block, but Allar should have got rid of the ball quicker and or took the sack. Sometimes being 6'5 and 235 means you are a touch too strong. If he just goes down, it's a clean sack and he is perfectly healthy for thr 2nd half.
Landon is still very close to the program. He could be giving an opinion. He could know what a Dr diagnosed and is the unofficial mouthpiece for this. If Franklin didn't want this information spoken on, I would guess Tengwall would have been told not to. They give him all 22 footage to do his show.
Starters are starters for a reason, so we should be better with Donkah playing, however, from what I saw Rucci played. Well.
Yeah. I have a little PTSD from memories of gimpy Trace in 2018...when we had a capable Tommy Stevens on the bench...and Trace was immobile back there and we got upset. And a gimpy Clifford contributing to a winnable loss when we had a capable Will Levis on the bench.
I'd rather have 100% Beau than 70% Drew.
Go back and watch the tape. You'll be thankful our QBs can move in the pocket because 72 is getting beat often.
Yeah, to me it looks like Rucci doesn't have good lateral quickness.
I fully expect PSU to go 50/50 Allar/Pribula.
This will be the Big Zamboni's Mona Lisa.

I think I'd rather have a 100% Beau than a 90% Drew. And I love Drew, he's been playing great the past couple weeks. I just don't want him getting beat up because he's a step slow in the pocket and not able to move as fast laterally. We need Drew for the playoff run and we have to get him healthy. Sit him until Minny unless he is 100% before then.
We have a decent chance this week with Beau. Even if we lose with Beau we are still in good shape moving forward with Washington and Purdue coming up. If we play Drew and he aggravates his injury AND we lose the game, then we're in trouble.
We could very well not see Drew. I think they are hoping he feels good this week in practice but my hunch it is Pribula's game to win or lose.
That video didn't make the 'cut'.
What was allowed to be viewed and recorded was encouraging, but not particularly meaningful.
No agility drill that would require him to cut or move laterally.
Football moves that are important in evading the rush.
CJF was not going to allow that type of activity to be viewed and recorded.
Got it. Yeah don’t think he’s ready for that yet. I’m afraid that we may need to ride with Beau on Saturday.
Is this “mcl” injury at further risk if he plays?
Is Tangwell right and this is the mcl tear the proper diagnosis? Any time you sprain a knee or ankle there is some tearing of the knee or ligament surrounding that joint. The extent and location of the tear determines the treatment necessary.
They have some excellent knee braces today that certainly can help prevent further injury. But it's certainly not like a deep bruise which you can play through if you can endure the pain.
If DA is cleared to play by the medical staff, then the coaches and trainers will evaluate his ability to move and defend himself perhaps on Friday, or even game day morning.
And the staff could know that it's going to take an additional week for him to get healthy and this approach forces OSU's DC to focus on a more diverse attack.
And that's in addition to what OC AK is cooking up that their DC has to prepare for.
Yes, he can absolutely make the existing injury worse.
My non-professional take from the practice videos is that the doctors are not currently overly concerned, or else he would not have been executing some of the passing footwork which was clearly displayed to everyone with eyes.
Based on that video alone, I don't think Allar is starting on Sat. Notice that he doesn't twist or pivot his leg when he turns. He's probably ok going in a straight line but only in a straight line.
He may not yet be permitted to do so by the medical staff and coaches.
He does not have to perform that type of stress test - yet.
This is the standard passing drill that is viewed at essentially every viewing session. The media only gets 10-15 minutes once a week. It's usually ball security drills and passing.
