07:17 AM ET 07.22 | Quarterback Robert Marve, who announced in May that he would transfer from Miami to Purdue, has a knee injury and is expected to be out until October, according to ESPN The Magazine. Marve told the magazine he suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament while doing drills three days after announcing his transfer. He must sit out the 2009 season because of the transfer.

Nope. Happened too soon. FN never got a picture of the guy in a Purdue uniform. So guess what they will illustrate all these articles with.............

Seriously, Marve has to feel "snake bit" at this point. He was gonna have to sit out 2009 anyway, and hopefully he can recover close to 100% and perform well in 2010. Hard to know with ACL tears.

What goes around comes around... Guess he will be spending his year rehabbing

He can't win for losing.
Kind of surprising that they think he will be back by October, though-- that seems a little soon. No need to push it, since he can't play this season anyway.

If he doesn't shine in Spring training 2010, his path may be D2 and hope for a shot in Canada or the AFL.

I wonder if he can get a medical redshirt for either the car crash he had his freshman year or for this issue?

dammmmmmn. bad luck or bad juju. you pick

Just think though fellas, if he had quietly sat out his transfer year, we may have heard nothing about him here. No T&A will be filled with stories of his rehab...thank goodness, these Marve are really special, and important to our national security.

ACL is the worst pain ever??? You are obviously very young. The ACL isn't even in the top 20.
