how about starting a thread asking about how he is doing?? geez...anybody know?
Did you not see him walking around on field shaking hand with OSU after the game? He's fine....maybe not in "ready to play next week" terms but he appeared to very cognizant and aware of his surroundings.

Hell, he's fine. I give him credit for taking himself out of the game. I think he did that to try give us a chance. He's a good kid, hate this **** for him.

I agree with this and the point of the original post.

He walked into the locker room with the entire team while wearing a t shirt at the end. Looked "normal"... and if it was super serious I don't think he'd be out on the field hanging out with everyone under those lights. We have an NFL consultant on our medical staff ESPN was saying... so I doubt he starts next week.

As awful as this sounds this is Mullen's first/best shot at not playing the god send QB gift wrapped to him when he got here that might be the worst fit for his offense... he might be great, but I don't think he'll play for "concussion" reasons.

He returned to the field, Xrays were negative.

Anything else you want me to catch you up to speed on?

I have cheered for and defended Tyler Russell since day 1. But this staff does not know how to make an effective offense around him. Or the pieces we have (below average OL and shifty speedster starting RB) won't allow for such.

Whichever is the case, I think it's time for us to use Dak in the read option Relf Coast offense. He allows for much better passing than Relf ever did (see the beautiful wheel route to Malcolm today). Plus he and JRob looked pretty good at it today. Granted, by that point, OSU was keeping everything in front. But it was better than our other offensive "gameplan".
