Nick Bosa out vs Tulane
11W link.
No official word out on the injury but according to Reddit rumors are an abdominal strain that would keep him out 4-8 weeks. If that's the case he's missing PSU for sure and if it's the longer case potentially MSU as well. He should be back for us though.

Great to know. Very informative.
September 17th, 2018 at 1:52 PM ^
it is though
September 18th, 2018 at 12:35 AM ^
Why is this getting so many downvotes? Doesn't seem sarcastic.
September 17th, 2018 at 1:21 PM ^
Hope the lad recovers quickly..
And fuck OSU.
September 17th, 2018 at 3:13 PM ^
Get out of my dreams, and get into my car...
September 17th, 2018 at 5:27 PM ^
I don't...fuck that. I hope he recovers to have a great NFL career. But we've has so many unlucky breaks (no pun intended) against them with injuries -at our most important positions (Henne, Denard, Speight 2016 -even though we were still jobbed in that game) that I hope half their team is out for The Game.
Go ahead and neg away, but after 2 decades of a horseshoe up their ass...time for them to experience some bad luck, injuries included. A nice high ankle sprain to Haskins a week before The Game would be wonderous.

Yeah, other than winning a freaking national championship with a 3rd string QB, beating UM last year with a cold, inexperienced QB on the road against a great D, or playing against UM without stud John Simon, or.....
September 17th, 2018 at 9:16 PM ^
I've been complaining about having to play them in game 12 more and more recently, because of the injury luck. Our starting QBs can't make it to game 12, ever. Think about if we had played them in like week 6 the last 5 years, how many wins would we have over them? 2? 3?
I know it's "The Game" and has to be the 12th game, just pisses me off with the injuries piled up by then every year..
September 18th, 2018 at 9:43 AM ^
Bad luck! How many teams can win a national championship with their 3rd string q.b.? And furthermore who's to say Tate Martell can't beat you guys? I do remember D-Train coming in last year during the middle of the 3rd quarter and doing pretty good against that defense. I still remember Gary saying, we bout to get his ass, LOL.
September 17th, 2018 at 1:22 PM ^
Pro tip:
When it comes to injuries, suspensions and general what-have-you, everyone everywhere is ALWAYS "back for us".
Our presence on a team's schedule works like a miracle drug for trainers.
September 17th, 2018 at 1:33 PM ^
Florida,last year, is one that I remember guys actually remaining out against us.
September 17th, 2018 at 2:23 PM ^
Dexter Williams didn’t play for ND against us either
September 17th, 2018 at 2:27 PM ^
To be fair, half of those guys were under arrest at the time.
September 17th, 2018 at 3:08 PM ^
True, though, that's never stopped Dantonio.
September 17th, 2018 at 2:27 PM ^
TRue, Michigan is the biggest game of the year for any team on our schedule and when M loses it’s the national headline
September 17th, 2018 at 3:55 PM ^
I don't know about this. I bet Penn State things Ohio State is its biggest game.
September 17th, 2018 at 1:26 PM ^
So he's gonna win B1G DL of the year with 1/4 of Chase's production this year?
September 17th, 2018 at 9:08 PM ^
Worse than that, this could cost him the Heisman, per ESPN.
I’m kidding, I think.
September 17th, 2018 at 1:26 PM ^
No doubt that he needs to play it safe as he will be a top 5/10 NFL draft pick. Maybe out for the season???
September 17th, 2018 at 1:27 PM ^
Tulane by 4 or 5 scores?
September 17th, 2018 at 1:29 PM ^
Insert next 5 star.
September 17th, 2018 at 1:32 PM ^
I know the joke is OSU is so stacked that this wont affect them, but this really hurts their pass rushing especially vs QBs like Lewerke and McSorley who can hurt you on their feet, does anybody know his backup?
September 17th, 2018 at 1:35 PM ^
A really athletic 4.5 star who starts literally anywhere else.
Is my guess.
September 17th, 2018 at 1:37 PM ^
Joey Bosa, back for a grad degree.
September 17th, 2018 at 2:18 PM ^
Lol! Bosa and degree in the same sentence. Good one hatter
September 17th, 2018 at 3:47 PM ^
That Basket Weaving MBA really means something from O$U.
September 17th, 2018 at 1:37 PM ^
Probably Chase Young. SO who's a former top 10 player out of MD. Still a really really good player, but a drop from the #1 player in the draft for sure.
September 18th, 2018 at 11:44 AM ^
That would be Ed Oliver.
September 17th, 2018 at 5:40 PM ^
Well the 3 listed starters at DE were Nick Bosa (Jr.) + Chase Young (So.) -OR- Jonathan Cooper (Jr.).
Behind those 3 starters are Tyreke Smith (Fr.), Jashon Cornell (Jr.), and Tyler Friday (Fr.).
When Nick Bosa went down on Saturday against TCU, OSU's coaching staff slid Chase Young to Bosa's spot on the weakside, and put Jonathan Cooper on the strongside.
One of the downside of having the 4 "Rushmen" (Bosa, Lewis, Hubbard, and Holmes) splitting snaps last year at DE was decreased opportunities to rotate in the underclassmen. Chase Young got the 5th most snaps at DE last year, and Cooper had primarily played DT his first 2 seasons at Ohio State. So most of the backups are relative unknowns.
September 17th, 2018 at 1:34 PM ^
Maybe he couldn't stomach the latest meyer interview either...
September 17th, 2018 at 1:37 PM ^
Always a +1 for Farley.
September 17th, 2018 at 2:01 PM ^
Herbstreit is volunteering to help Bosa stretch for an hour each day.
September 17th, 2018 at 3:46 PM ^
Slurp
September 17th, 2018 at 2:02 PM ^
despite all the jokes above, hope that he will be back against Pedophile State and M(ole)S(tor)U
September 17th, 2018 at 2:21 PM ^
He did not look happy on the sideline of the TCU game after he got hurt -- like he was worried it might be something that would take a while to get over.
Speaking of Ohio State, I fucking hate them, but I hate Sparty more and here's one example why:
I flew in for the game Saturday and on the highway saw a car that belonged to a Michigan State fan. The custom license plate on the car said "UMSUX." I told my son this typifies a certain type of Sparty, whose love for his own team is inseparable from his hatred of Michigan. It is simply impossible to articulate clearly all the reasons why this is so annoying -- but I bet most of the people who are on this site understand. It makes me want to crush them.
September 17th, 2018 at 2:28 PM ^
The doctors said 4-8 weeks, but the OSU Board of Trustees discussed it and decided it should only be 2.
September 17th, 2018 at 2:49 PM ^
Most surprising upvote I've given in weeks.
September 17th, 2018 at 2:57 PM ^
+1 - informative science stuff
September 17th, 2018 at 3:13 PM ^
Yeah. This post was sneaky good. Well done.
September 17th, 2018 at 3:50 PM ^
Very well played sir. +100 upvotes if we still could!
September 17th, 2018 at 5:47 PM ^
OK, our differing viewpoints on the status of various accounts aside, I laughed way harder than I should have at that. Well done.
September 17th, 2018 at 6:26 PM ^
? I’ll take it.
September 17th, 2018 at 2:54 PM ^
He's probably still going to be the #1 overall pick. Either that or Ed Oliver, and then he'll be #2.
September 17th, 2018 at 3:02 PM ^
because of COURSE he would be back for the UM game. Of course.
September 17th, 2018 at 3:39 PM ^
Too much stretching....
September 17th, 2018 at 3:44 PM ^
Did he apologize for his abs being complicit in the injury?
September 17th, 2018 at 3:46 PM ^
...and he apologized for the perception that he was healthier.
September 17th, 2018 at 3:59 PM ^
But he’ll be IN versus Michigan, so...
