Will we see Bonitto, Stogner, Haselwood back for the big game? Guess Bookie (too) ? It’s an all hands on deck kind of a game obviously. LR please bring back the wheel routes and deep crossing/slant routes that the Clones are vulnerable to. Use the running game lots is my suggestion. OL block better !!

Stogner will be very unlikely to play this season, if the rumors about a staph infection are true.

Everybody else is likely good to go.
 
I had heard that rumor too. I had a friend whose son was the top football player in Texas his senior year, and he was a better baseball player. Tore up his knee running the option, when he was really a passing qb.

Got a staph infection from the surgery and never played football again. Played one more season as a mediocre pitcher, then had to quit baseball. As a freshman, he'd pitched Baylor to its first CWS in nearly 30 years. Those were the years when only one team from a conference went to the post season. He was a shell of his former ability.

Now, that was 45 years ago, and medicine is very different, though it seems that there are more infections in hospitals than in the "good ole days."

It's very likely that Stogner resumes football. But staph is serious stuff, if that is truly what he's dealing with. I've read it enough places from posters on campus, that there's a good chance it's true. And a likely reason why it was thought initially he'd be back quickly, but is still sidelined.

Bickham is one of the top 5 athletes to come out of Plano in my book. Sad way his career ended at Baylor...

I can relate to his story. Same exact thing happened to me. Only difference I wasn’t a top recruit but I had my surgery after the season my sophomore year and never played again. We lost to Ada in the 1964 state championship my senior year. Big disappointed missing out on that. I never even heard anything about staph up until that time. Just an unlucky break that robs.
