are not strong."
The outlook could be more
promising, however, for true
freshman Herman Ho-Ching, a
tailback who strained knee liga
ments in the Ducks’ win over San
Jose State on Sept. 19.
Having not yet used a redshirt
season, Ho-Ching could apply for
medical hardship status after this
season if he still qualifies.
In order to qualify under nor
mal circumstances, an athlete
cannot compete in more than 20
percent of his team’s contests,
must play that 20 percent or less
in the first half of the season and
must be unable to return for the
remainder of the season, O’Fallon
said.
Having played less than three
full games, all in the season’s first
half, Ho-Ching would qualify for
redshirt consideration should
head coach Mike Bellotti deem
him unable to play in the Ducks’
remaining games.
“That’s a perfect example,”
Williford said. “If he’s unable to
come back, we would have to ap
ply with the NCAA to get that
year back.”
But, O’Fallon said, “If he re
turns to health, then hardship
would not apply.”
Should Ho-Ching miss the rest
of the season, O’Fallon would file
a petition to the Pac-10 detailing
the significance of the injury and
the circumstances in which it oc
curred. The NCAA would then is
sue a ruling in the case.
