He's already practicing and it's week 7! Are you kidding me?
McCall back by Indiana (at least Minnesota)?

So the doctors don't have to give him medical clearance to continue football activities? Right....
If Morehouse said he was practicing, I will believe it. Doesn't mean he is taking hits....but the fact that he is out there and we still have what, 7-8 weeks left of football? Cmon. That redshirt ain't happening. Whether you want to believe it or not.

The medical redshirt was an option, but he came back faster than anyone initially expected. I'd sure love to see him carrying the ball in a couple weeks. We need some quickness in the backfield.
I still think Coker should be moved to FB, with McCall and Canzeri at RB (in addition to Bullock and Johnson)

I'd love to see that happen. I'd love to see what McCall can do with 15-20 carries.

A redshirt is unlikely at this point. But too many people want to prove how smart they are by asserting something as 100% when that is far from the case.

I'm not trying to prove anything. IF he is back in practice, he isn't getting a redshirt. I don't see how it's that hard. Would you like me to say 99% instead? Holy crap.

No doubt. And we've seen lots of short passes to Coker the last few weeks. Imagine what we could do with Coker and McCall in the backfield at the same time. Or Coker/Canzeri.
I'll be the first to stand up and applaud if Ferentz does that. But I'm not holding my breath. God-forbid we get as much talent on the field as possible. Coker at FB with McCall/Canzeri at RB could be dynamic.

Thanks - that's exactly what I was suggesting. It doesn't really matter if the player was a starter or not. In other words, the only way you'd ever regret playing Canzeri this year (assuming he at least plays special teams), is if he sticks around for four, injury-free years as an eligible Hawkeye, at the end of which you'd say "man, he is contributing and still getting better, if only he had another year."
If Betts had played as a true freshman, we probably would have said that at the end of his fourth year.
Albert Young proves my point, as the redshirt year would have been needed later in his career when he was injured.

Obviously if he is practicing now than they intend to play him so its a moot point, but.
Wouldn't it depend on when he is cleared given the %30 thing? If he was cleared to play with less than %30 of the games remaining and didn't what would happen?
I would assume he would get a waiver.
Does anyone truly understand how the NCAA comes to decision on anything? Im pretty sure admitting your dad tried to pimp you is supposed to be a violation.

Yeah, that's just too many weapons on the field at the same time. Can't be having that with conserv-a-ball.

Even if he's back at practice, you have no idea if he's just running straight ahead or what have you. It could still be 3-4 weeks until he's back. Get this...KF will be CONSERVATIVE in bringing him back.

The injury has to keep the player out the entire season. If McCall is cleared to play by the Nebraska game, he is ineligible for a medical hardship waiver.
The three requirements for a medical hardship waiver were posted earlier in this thread.
What if we lined up in a running formation and then passed! Now that would really fool the opposing team!!!
