Good to see Dungey on the sidelines...

If it lasts for more than 4 hours, see your doctor?

Benching your quarterback for a game because you are worried he's going to get injured is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in sports.

Stil proves my point that in one game, anything's possible

Don't forget, Nc St got rocked by Louisville and lost to Boston College.

The message that would send to the team would be so devastating to team morale and their confidence. " We are so convinced we are going to lose, that we are not going to risk our best player's safety, because the OL can't protect him, and our backup's health is expendable." While you might, and I stress might be able to fool the public into thinking Dungey was sick, or hurt during practice in the week leading up to the game, the team would know, and your credibility inside the locker-room would be shot. You play to win the game, no matter how unlikely that scenario is.

What you can do however, is game plan around risk. I couldn't watch the game, and literally only cared about one thing, ED coming out healthy. When I heard he went down, I was livid. Play quick passes as much as possible, get it out of his hands. Tell him unless he can run and get out of bounds, throw the ball away on any plays where there is no one open. Nonetheless, the kid had to play, or else we look weaker than we showed losing 54-0, and we did look weak, underprepared, and embarrassed. This was a great team we played, but they are in our conference, as well as our division. If we can't rally the troops to attempt to compete with them, what's the point of even playing the game. It stinks of cowardice. At least come out swinging.

I felt the same way - just make sure ED is protected and not injured.

I'm still livid.

My exact feeling. That and drained. If your goals for any particular game are to simply come out of it without a catastrophic injury, you basically have already lost. So in essence we got throttled on national tv and potentially also had an injury which conceivably makes winning again unlikely. It certainly feels like this is something only capable at Syracuse, but obviously that's not true. Ugh

We looked plenty prepared but were completely overwhelmed. Again. how many underclassman playing in Death Valley for the first time against a top 4 team starting to hit it's stride?

Nebraska got beat worse than us Saturday (62-3) and they were ranked #10 in the nation.

Flush this game and move on. It's not worth dwelling on.

Wow!!

 

[Finwad32]

It's Tuesday, most likely first day of practice since the game. This is a win.

I'd GUESS that if he did have another concussion (large or small) that he'd be sitting. Who knows though.

Wait, so ED has ED?! I thought it was a head injury? Ohhhh......, nevermind.
