I don't think ARob will be ready for Baylor even with 2 complete weeks of rest.

Anyone that has had a strained groin will agree I would think. He needs a good 3, maybe even 4 weeks of inactivity to approach anything resembling 90%.

It just doesn't go away that fast.

I couldn't believe how he was tearing down the field with the defenders chasing him even while hobbling. Someone needs to quickly invent some Miracle Groin Cream.

Duh!
We won't win again until he's at least back to 90%.

Think about it.....he was limping around a bit even before the game, yet he still busted off a 40 yard run against K-State! And if he was healthy he would have taken that one all the way. The safety didn't get a good angle on him.

With a healthy ARob, I honestly believe ISU wins this game. I knew he wouldn't be healthy, but it was even worse than I feared. They way he pulled up at the end of the Army game, there was no way he could be 100%. When he broke that run yesterday, he could have gone for 6 if he was healthy. I am glad he got us out of the hole and setup a scoring drive. He would have other big runs and help open up the passing game. JS can't hit the draws as quickly as ARob, but he did a good job yesterday. He looked heart broken after the game.

IMO... I think ARob would be better off with a broken bone in his leg right now. We'd be looking at 4 weeks then, but he'd be coming back at nearly full strength. As it is, with a groin, I don't foresee we'll see the real ARob again the rest of the season now.

We are ISU folks. The football gods decided last week to take away our best player with a groin pull, and then this week the gods shined on us in somehow allowing that football to land in the hands of Jake Williams off a tipped pass... only to shove it in our faces once again by having our kicker miss his only extra point of his career.

We should be used to this stuff by now. We should be numb to it. Heck, we should just expect the worst to happen to us. ISU fans have to be some of the most die hard in the country to put up with this stuff constantly. It gets very old.

But good luck to ARob.... I hope he can recover. He deserves it. But like I said, as an ISU fan I'm expecting the worse. He probably won't be better than 80% the rest of the season.
