Isn't it amazing?

I never heard it used as an excuse by players or coach, but isn't it amazing how much more effective Payne and Fuller are now that are not playing on very sore, sprained ankles? We just don't have the talent to withstand players giving anything less than 100%. I know Ohio St sure looks better with Turner back.

Well, we could not have looked any worse for a period of time. However, yes, this group is short handed enough that 1 injury has a major effect on the entire team.

Is Payne fully healthy now?

Yes, Fuller has been huge since coming back healthy about 9 games ago...averaging 14 and 9rbs since then, and in Iowa offense,that is big.

Now, Turner might be the best player in the country so having him return is a way bigger deal,imo.
