Supposed to be a short recovery
So why didn't he have this surgery immediately following the Citrus Bowl, again?

Apparently O said not to. If true, I'd love to hear the reasoning behind that. But whatever.

It's the equivalent of a knee scope. A major back surgery this is not.

Likely so he could learn the new offense. He was able to practice. So, go through spring practice, get surgery, be ready for fall

A "Minor" Back procedure is gonna be one of a very few number of things. Many consider a micro-discectomny a minor procedure, but it is unlikely someone about to undergo such a procedure would be engaged in an intense physical activity just days before.
A "minor" back procedure is more frequently used to reference things like ESI injections which are guided injections using a flouroscope to make certain the physician administers medication to the proper spine level.
The above is not posted a speculation as to any particular person's medical care, but rather as information as to common back procedures referred to as minor. ( In other words, don't whack my post....I am not breaking rules)

So now we are starting the 3rd string qb from a 3-9 purdue team who is coming off back surgery.

back surgery is still back surgery. If it was a microdisectomy (herniated disk) then thats no walk in the park. I had this a few years ago.
