Knee surgery will sideline Piqua native
Saturday, September 22, 2007
COLUMBUS — Ohio State freshman running back Brandon Saine had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Friday morning and will be out indefinitely, his mother said.
Saine, who has rushed for 153 yards (a 5.5 average) and scored three touchdowns in three games, felt discomfort during the Washington game last week, and it flared up again after Tuesday's practice, according to his mother, Wendi Croft.

"This could be something that was there a long time, and he just tweaked it a little," she said.
"(The surgery) was pretty much a precautionary thing. They thought it was better to go ahead and take care of it before it kind of gets worse."
Croft didn't reveal specifics about Saine's injury but said the family was told he could be out three weeks. The Piqua product leads the team in TDs and is second in scoring.
"The medical staff at Ohio State is incredible," Croft said. "They jumped right on it. They made sure everything was done that needed to be done, and I have the highest regard for them. They kept me informed all along the way."
