"Dr. Andrews looked at it, wanted to wait a couple weeks ’till the swelling went down to be sure. He confirmed he needed surgery. It was successful." Malzahn praised Lawson’s work ethic and training regimen, and said the sophomore might be back by the end of the 2014 football season." This is precisely why the board debated for multiple pages about the Lawson injury and how long he would realistically be out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say Malzahn's "might be back" is very mild in comparison to Lawson Senior's "not in the thought process". In fact, Lawson Senior's comment came shortly after the surgery, so he actually put Gus in a position where he had to deal with that claim.

Sure, that's fine, you saw it from his dad I saw it from Gus. The message is the same so it really doesn't matter to me who said it first but the fact remains the statement warranted doubts then just as it does now. I don't think Stove will play this year like Lawson didn't play that one year. I'm not rooting for that to happen but I'm just thinking it's unrealistic to think he will see the field this upcoming season. The odds are not in his favor, lets just put it that way.

Keep in mind that Stove has nearly 2 more months of recovery time than Lawson had. I'm optimistic, but I'm certainly not going to lay money on it or anything like that.

passthebiscuits 6,844 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Lawson’s knee to be fair was a mess. The debate about how bad it was caused me stress. During that time frame, for those that remember, i went out of my way to give factual info. in this case, i think Stove can be back before the end of the year, but being ready game one is too optimistic in my opinion. I would guess that he could start testing the knee during fall and then realistically mid year before he could cut on it like he needs to. Just my opinion tho.
