- Thread starter Baz = Heisman

Pls spell his name correctly. Chiles. He's earned it.
Dammit. OSU is flailing and now this.
Fussell still out too

Whatever dude. I don’t care. He’s a mercenary too. This era is so ******* lame.
I'm guessing Fussell is done for the year, maybe Chiles too
Well... I keep going back to that Penn State game. That was such a fun moment. As NU fans, we have to hold on to the moments and not worry so much about the big picture.
I'm not happy about the general state of affairs in the sport either, but watching it is a choice. You can look away, but this weird passive-aggressive misspelling of the guy's name is sorta low rent.
We’ll see what your attitude is when it comes out he shut it down to transfer elsewhere.
What's his injury, do you think? Was there a play vs. Oregon where we saw him get injured?
No. He played the entire game. Thats why I’m widely skeptical of this.
The offense WAS worse in the 2nd half, so if he was playing injured, that could explain it. But I didn't see any obvious injury.
If it's concussion protocol, why keep it secret?
For a guy who seems to actually be clueless, you sure seem to think you know a lot.
I thought it was similar for Jeremy Larkin, not necessarily a single play or hit but when he had some neck pain they did the scan and found he had some congenital problem that would risk serious spinal injury if he continued to play … I’ll have to look it up
There are players that have checked out (Tavien St Clair) but aren't listed as "out" on the injured list. I think if he was leaving but not injured, they wouldn't put him on there
And that was announced right away. So if he had something like that, they’d say.
Coach Braun did mention before the Iowa game that Aidan had seen a couple of specialists last week, so that makes me believe it’s a legit injury situation and not something non-medical as some have implied.
Larkin's career ended because of Congenital Cervical Stenosis. Post mortem studies reveal this is not an uncommon issue but diagnosed more commonly in contact sport athletes, when neurological symptoms develop after a contact neck injury. Historically, the diagnosis was made by the ratio of the spinal canal with the size of the vertebral body-this is not a reliable standard. Currently, the ratio of spinal cord diameter to the canal diameter on an MRI and other more sophisticated measurements are being used.
If these studies were done on all football players, you would see a significant number of players diagnosed with this congenital anatomical variation
