The truth on Nuss's injury

I am a doctor and can confirm that one of the key symptoms of a torn oblique is throwing into triple coverage.

Exactly. I did hear that isnt the same injury as Myle Brennan. I was curious about that as well

Yep, that works out great, give a shot, mask the injury and hope two weeks he back to normal...what a load of shite. if hes hurt Get him out let Van Buren take over....everyone can see Nuss is playing like shite


frick me this is beyond stupid, you have a SEC experanced Backup just sitting.

Im sure tweaking that knee if fall camp didnt help either. Probably reaggravating the oblique by relying more on upper body for throwing power instead of his legs.

A torn oblique for a quarterback is a tricky injury because the obliques are heavily involved in both throwing mechanics and core stability. Recovery depends on the severity (grade) of the tear:

Grade I (mild strain / small tear): 2–4 weeks. With rest, rehab, and gradual return to throwing, some QBs can get back fairly quickly.

Grade II (moderate partial tear): 4–8 weeks. This usually means more limited movement and pain with twisting/throwing, requiring longer rehab before resuming full football activity.

Grade III (complete tear): 8–12+ weeks. In rare severe cases, recovery can extend into the offseason, sometimes requiring surgery.

For a college-level QB, most moderate oblique tears (Grade II) often keep them out about 4–6 weeks, since they need to be pain-free through the entire throwing motion and avoid recurrence (re-injury rates are fairly high if rushed back).

Then Kelly should be fired for playing him. Most schools wo up leave have played the backup.

This wasnt just Kelly's decision. Nuss came back for his senior year. I am sure that if he is any kind of healthy, he and his teammates are all for him playing. Kelly may have the last say so, but think of what that does to your team dynamic if your vocal leaders are calling for him to play. Tough spot to be in honestly and MVB look awful in fall camp so I see why the rode with Nuss despite the injury

If he is that injured they have no choice but to sit him. With this defense all you need is a mangeable QB and MVB showed his freshman year that he has the potential to at least be that. Ans kelly should have given him some reps in the OM game. That could have been the difference.

He is a liability and should not be playing. Don’t give a rats butt about his draft stock. He is wasting this year with this great defense. Other schools sit their starting quarterback if they are hurt.

If you think you have the arm strength to hit tight windows healthy, you likely would in the split second of the game. Its just not there when he is injured. Also, he has always thrown some risky balls, but sometimes it worked out because he had so much zip on the throw.

He has a torn oblique. Has had this since fall camp at least. Recovery time on this surgery is 3-4 months. They were hoping it would heal up enough to only require a shot and finish healing this week and next. I am not sure if that will be the case but it is obvious he hasnt been himself and this is why. This isnt a guess, it is on good authority or I wouldnt put it out there.

If this is true, shouldn't he shut it down and hope for a medical redshirt?
