Forget all you coach-potato blowhards. These kids are giving it there all, playing injured, not complaining. Prop's to Trevor for making his impact felt. Trevor makes Tranquill and Crawford look like light weights.

Asked how he was going to feel on the day after playing 87 offensive snaps, Trevor Ruhland smiled.

 

“I’m going to feel terrible,” Notre Dame’s graduate offensive lineman said after Saturday’s 21-20 win over Virginia Tech. “But that’s why we have the best medical staff. I’ll get in there, I’ll get fixed up and then we’re on to Duke.”

 

No one would have blamed Ruhland if he’d gotten on with his life after all the body breakdowns he’d experienced during his time on campus. The list includes three surgeries on his left knee; fractures to his ankle, elbow and nose; torn pectorals on both sides of his chest and a torn labrum in his shoulder.

 

He was held out during spring practice and there was serious consideration given to having him sit out 2019 or move on altogether. Team doctors told him he had the “knee of an 80-year-old,” but Ruhland opted to return.

And this is why I'll never throw a kid under the bus on here. For one, players read this stuff. And calling players garbage, trash, whatever - it's just wrong. These kids are giving everything they have to play a sport they and we alike love.

 

I hope his body recovers. Knee of an 80 year-old? Ouch

Personally, I'd follow medical advice.

Father played for ND and is 80. Trevor does not have the knees of an 80 year old football player. 80 year old football players have artificial knees.
