Thoughts on Cole’s injury
By Scott Wright
If you’re reading this blog, you’ve probably heard by now that OSU receiver William Cole injured his knee in practice Wednesday.
We’ll find out the extent of the injury Friday evening when coach Mike Gundy addresses the media after practice, probably around 7:30 p.m.
Keep your eyes on NewsOK, because I’ll get something on the Web as soon as possible when we find out how bad the injury is.
Let me first say that I really don’t know how bad the injury is. If he’s out for the year, it’s terrible for him and will hurt the Cowboys.
But if he is done for the year, let me give you two reasons not to worry:
1. The Cowboys are deep at receiver. No, they don’t have anybody else with Cole’s elusiveness and YAC ability. But they have a lot of guys who are just as experienced as Cole who can step in. Consider me a member of the Bo Bowling fan club. He has some Wes Welker qualities.
2. Cole still has a redshirt season available after coming out of redshirt last season to catch two passes. And with the injury coming this early, he’ll have plenty of time to heal up before next season.
But like I said, we don’t even know yet if it’s a season-ending injury, or just a minor sprain. As soon as I know, you’ll know.
