11 months is plenty of time to get back on the field, assuming it was a routine injury, reconstruction, and recovery. All indications are that Botelho's situation is far from that. Best case: clean tear, surgery, recovery (Traore as far as we know), you can certainly be on the field by month 11. BUT, think about all that was missed, including all of spring, summer workouts, and possibly some of fall camp. We need DEs.
My son tore his meniscus cleanly in February..had surgery to repair it early March...ready to go back to soccer in July

That's awesome for your son. Meniscus injuries aren't always that easy to treat and rehab from, so he should consider himself lucky!

As for Botelho and Traore, my understanding is their injuries involve ligaments and, in Botelho's case, multiple ligaments. Meniscus tear(s) are the least of their concerns unfortunately.

Can u imagine if we had a defender give an opposing quarterback an extra facemask love tap. Acc refs would have us vacating wins from 2020 over it. Georgia smack king an extra in the grill and that’s jusr playing hard.

How many teams have we played now that will have 8 wins?

Miami Ohio
Louisville
GT
Army
Navy
NIU probably will
Texas A&M
USC will go to a bowl
Virginia with a win goes to a bowl
Even Stanford beat Syracuse & Clemson

Who has a better resume?

We should I think his brother is in the 2026 class and looking at us. Let’s face it he isn’t winning anything at Stanford
He might be more receptive but previously said he wants to make his own path. Also, Stanford just hired Andrew Luck as GM of football and that might be a short term spark.

I think the are both gone and should be.
OK Captain Hardass. What’d they ever do to you?

Thomas has always battled out there and has comparable numbers this year to the guys we got in the portal.

Colzie is probably never going to pop but the dude’s going out and blocking the friggin wham play for us. Doing what he can to help the team.

They’re not hurting anyone. Scholarship numbers are not an issue. Having guys who’ve been around is good for culture.

If they want back and are fine as rotational players I don’t see why we wouldn’t take them. If they want to go elsewhere and play more, God bless.

Most players want to play. They aren’t going to do that here much. They have been given plenty of opportunities and they don’t take advantage of that more so Thomas than Colzie. I don’t think either of them are bad people or players.

We could use Thomas especially In the red zone. He has a big body but doesn’t know who to use it.

To be fair we haven’t had the best coach at that position either.

If Carr isn’t healthy and ND is going to reach out to a QB I’d like to see them reach out to Sawyer Robertson. He will be a grad student next year, was great down the stretch for Baylor and has some mobility. The Big 12 is being treated like a non power league at this point so I could see him having some interest in moving on
