Kirk Ferentz says in the Sunday conversation they just posted.

"For sure, I think James will be out through the bye week," Ferentz said. "It will be a couple weeks before we get him back. I think everybody else has an opportunity to be ready by midweek if not sooner. We'll know more in a day or two, but I feel optimistic right now."

Figured I remember when lamichael james dislocated his elbow...took some time just to regain solid motion in it for awhile

Too bad for him but glad it wasn't longer. Didn't look good.

This.

JB is a great kid I feel bad he's going to miss previous time.

However Young and MK seems really to tote the rock.

This week will be the real test for our youngest players going up against a defense like Penn State will have on the field. If they can produce playing against PSU then the future looks bright for Iowa.

I think the future looks bright regardless of what happens this Saturday.

He'll be back. There's a lot of season left, he will contribute and they'll need him.

Yep, that heads-up play near the end of the first half is one reason I'm glad the coaches went out and got him.
