Did Junior play at UND?
- Thread starter Hauck tau
- Start date
He allegedly played in two plays, but I only spotted him running a jet sweep fake on our first play of the 2nd quarter, the one where Eli Gillman got held on the screen pass. He then came out of the game and I didn't see him anywhere else.
That is correct

Players try to come back from minor injury all the time into games and only get one or two plays before they realize that full speed is not possible. This isn't some crazy concept.
Man, this post hits home. You’re absolutely correct, 100% at practice does not equate to 100% in competition. Good on him or whoever, recognized this. Absolutely no need to push it and re-injure. Far too many times to athletes do this and find themselves in a much worse place.
My fear is that he DID reinjure it. But with Bobby, we may never know.
It’s just odd. If he was cleared, and he wouldn’t/shouldn’t be playing if he wasn’t medically cleared, why wait until the 2nd quarter to play your best offensive player? I totally understand tweaking something and deciding you can’t go, that’s not the confusing part. What I don’t get is the thought process of clearing a player and waiting to use him. Would be nice if we had some info from Bobby, but that’s never going to happen.
I think you’re making a couple assumptions about the situation that aren’t true. There’s a difference between being medically cleared to participate in practice and games, and Junior himself feeling like he can play at 100%. If instagram photos are an indication, he practiced for the first time last week without a blue no contact jersey, and getting back to game speed isn’t a 0-to-100 thing.
Junior likely tried to play from the jump after warmups, felt like he couldn’t, got a chance to try again after halftime, gave it a shot, and ultimately decided he shouldn’t be playing (or as AZ noted, he may have aggravated it, although I’m not sure that’s what happened). I don’t think any of us should be the arbiter of what Junior wants to do while he comes back from injury except him and the coaching staff. They don’t owe you anything here.
Can somebody tell who this is in the walking boot behind Haslam?
