Davis was cleared to play last week. He did in fact see some action on Saturday. Not a lot, but he was definately on the field.

Actually, my 2 year old gave me strep twice in about a 6 month period...both times it knocked me out pretty good for a day/day and a half, but I was back to 100% within a few days.
Of course my daily routine does not contain tackling other Div 1 football players!

I'm not looking to get chastised about star rankings but if you look back at the 2007 and 2008 commits, there is a lack of "star" power after the attrition from the 2007 class. The 2008 class simply didn't merit many highly ranked recruits. Perhaps the ranking system has some merit after all. Obviously, having 10 walk-ons in the two deeps is not a path to success. It's always great to hear of a few Cinderella stories but 10 sounds like a few too many. The lack of success for this season may have been determined a few years back.

Yeah, treated with the proper meds, you should be back up and rested by day 3.

IMO
Forgy needs to be in there somewhere, whether that is in place of Alvis i don't know but he showed the ability to get through the line a bit more than some others.
Is Tobin really our best option? He was a swinging gate on Saturday.
I haven't been impressed with Sleeper either, though he would have had a sack saturday on ISU's game tying touchdown if it wasn't for being tackled (no flag) on the TD pass.
We basically have no FB's.
At this point i'd like to see CJ in the starting role, herman has been non existant

Seriously, though...this season has the growing potential to careen into the suckhole.

How do we have so much success in recent years and find ourselves with this little amount of talent? It would be one thing if we had some awesome freshman ready to burst onto the scene, but I don't see any of that. Seems to me that we had a gap in player development that caught up with us.

This is the most disturbing thing to me.

The chart is not showing up because we have no one at No. 2. Everybody transferred after rhabdo and the Iowa State loss. It was just too much for some folks.

After that epic fail on Saturday the defense (and I use the term loosely) in particular should be put through another rhabdolific workout.

His listed as one of the kick returners, though. I highly doubt that he isn't expected to play.

Next man in. We're OK.
Tobin is not starter talent at the guard sport at all, which is scary since nobody else can step up and over take him. Sleeper is a nice story and all, but not gonna cut it during big ten season. Lebron Daniel is not good enough at the DE position. Herman and CJ are not blocking very well at all and Herman is not becoming much of a threat in the passing game either.
Its either the coaches are not seeing any of the backups step up in practice (which is scary with the lack of talent on the field) or are putting too much emphasis on being an upperclassman.
Also, it looks like Norm and the rest of the defensive staff need to get back to basics with the players. Fundamentals are horrible, especially the tackling. Its like watching a little league football game with kids who are not used to tackling. Its the most gawd awful thing to watch this year. We probably couldn't tackle Okeefe for prez's MA right now.

Although castillo should be playing club soccer for grand view , I didn't think he played all that bad.

Goes to show how bad our CB depth is with Castillo as the starter as we have all noticed. We really don't know how great Lowery is either, since we really haven't seen what he can do, once he gets back. I would like to think that he could get in there ahead of Castillo though because he just is not a starting D-I corner. Maybe a 3 or 4 type of guy.
