Ott comes off the edge and at times is unblockable.That would be outstanding! Everytime Calhoun ran up the gut last night, I thought that Ott should be doing the same.
He had knee and elbow surgery. Watching the replay, Ott was wearing a brace on his elboe during coin flip.What exactly was otts injury? Was it as severe as duzeys? Just wondering if ott could even be healthy enough to make an impact when duzey hasn't been able to.
Ott had an ACL tear and an elbow ligament/tendon issue that required Tommy John surgery. Considering MLB pitchers have had the elbow surgery and have gone on to continue to earn a pro salary ... I'm not worried, especially considering that Ott is a DE (and not a pitcher). As for an ACL tear - it is what it is. Besides, his injury occurred back in October and he's already had surgery.What exactly was otts injury? Was it as severe as duzeys?

Duzey had a knee surgery - but his injury occurred right at the end of spring camp ... and he probably got the surgery shortly thereafter. Given that Duzey was a TE with great explosiveness and pretty high-end speed for a TE - any sort of knee injury is going to take away that sort of explosiveness in the short term. It can sometimes take well over a year to regain those attributes ... and Duzey did the best he could in around 6 months. And, mind you, his contributions were surprising to most ... because his rehab was ahead of schedule.
I remember seeing the replay of when Ott hurt his elbow. Had his arm fully extended and planted into the ground when an ISU guy fell into it diving for a fumble. Ott immediately got up and ran to the sideline.Ott had an ACL tear and an elbow ligament/tendon issue that required Tommy John surgery.

I know it is based on % of games played but if they look at his overall career how much he actually played his freshmen after they burned his redshirt and how much he actually played this year...I think if the NCAA does what is in the best interest of the athlete like they say they do then he has a chance to get the hardship. It's not like he is trying to get a 6th year out of it. He had no impact on the team his freshmen year. But I understand the rule and it doesn't look good!
I have also seem some cases where I wonder why they are even trying, and they are granted.I think he's done. They get very particular in these circumstances. Have seen some cases that seemed like a lock get thrown out. Would be huge if he did get it! Good luck to Drew.
He still has a chance.Really makes you wish we hadn't burned his redshirt late his freshman year. Life is so unpredictable.
He still has a chance.
We need to pay off the NCAA officials. I'll pitch in a $20.Jared Reiner seemed like he had good chance for 5th year, and that didn't work out. I don't think NCAA is predictable.

Oh man it would be awesome if he could suit up again, our DL depth would be so nice with him.....DE rotation of Hesse, Ott, and Nelson....with Bazata, Johnson, and Ekatakie in the inside....Top 4 LBs back too, good luck running the ball on us next year
Oh yeah that is true, my bad. Thanks for picking up on that. So 3 of top 4, or actually 4 of top 5 if you include Bower and MendsNot true. Iowa will be losing a starter in Cole Fisher.
Imagine if Meier hadn't played three games on kick off coverage his freshman year.
First the elbow and then the knee. Heard he had surgery on the knee, but he also had a, I believe, Tommy John type surgery on his elbow. Didn't realize that until I saw him @ the coin flip for the B10 championship game.What exactly was otts injury? Was it as severe as duzeys?

He was hoping to hear back in the next 2 weeks. What do you think?
