aik said Scott is getting he knee scoped in the Scott thread. I figure this is big enough news to start a new thread. What the ****? Can anyone confirm?
I guess he was "a little nicked up."
Thanks for catching that, aik.
Just caught it on the Twitter and, while stunned, hope this takes care of whatever's nagging with Scott's health. Would really like to see Lockridge get more carries, slot time, whatever, to spell Speedy so the workload doesn't sideline him too.

Yep. I'm definitely worried about Scott's workload.
Too late for medical redshirt, I assume....Tweet from cubuffs said that he'll be out as long as 3 weeks and they'll have a story up on the official site shortly.
It depends on the intrusiveness of the scoping and the rate his body heals at. My boss had his knee scoped (minor one) 3 weeks ago and he was clambering up and down trails on a fishing trip a week and a half later (and he's 40 and not likely to heal as fast as a 20 year old). If they are just going in to do a minor cartilage clean up I wouldn't be surprised if DS plays against Mizzou.3 weeks is a long time.
So maybe it was one of those "little things" keeping him from seeing the field much.
Someone wished DS a "Speedy" recovery on his fb page, wonder if that was intentional. :lol:
who takes DS' place returning kicks? Please tell me it's not espy...This has been a part of our game that has been decent, Brian Lockridge should be the guy...but you never know with Hawk.
Interesting stat: B-Lock and DS are currently #22 and #24 respectively (nationally, based on average) returing kicks this season.
B-Lock:5 games, 9 returns, 242yds, 26.89yd avg, and 1.8 returns per game
DS: 5 games, 21 returns, 564yds, 26.86yd avg, and 4.20 returns/game

that was my point. I wouldn't be surprised to see espy and sumler back there though.
Anybody else notice ringos snippy comment about ds being available only to journalists working for cu? :lol:
I remember reading in the Buffzone article that Scott's duties would be handled by Lockridge. I'd be very surprised to see Espy back there. It's a different skill set to return kickoffs and punts.
