Much as I'd love to see him go out and run the ball against SC, it's more important that we have him for the grind of the Big Ten season. He needs to sit and heal as long as he needs to.
I think it's also important for him. If he wants to go NFL after this year, he needs to perform at a very high level whenever he does return--which won't happen if he's only got 1.5 wheels under him. I know he was flat out gritty last year, but RB's need to protect themselves as much as possible, and with the talent we've got behind him, we owe it to him to let him recover fully (or as fully as feasible).
Then again, I think "make" him recover is more likely than "let." He'll be pushing for playing time ASAP.
