From the RGJ:
But the X factor is senior Chance Kretschmer, who had arthroscopic knee surgery nearly four weeks ago. Kretschmer, the nation’s leading rusher in 2001, returned to practice about 10 days ago and though he looks healthy, Ault said his playing time is up in the air.
“He’ll see some time on special teams and he’ll get a few carries,” Ault said. “But we just don’t know what to expect out of him.”
That has been the company line for the last week and while there may be some truth to it, leaving the situation up in the air certainly doesn’t help Louisiana Tech prepare for the Pack offense. So it wouldn’t be shocking to see Kretschmer trot out to the running back spot in the middle of the first half and wind up with 15-20 carries.
