He never came back after he was injured - does anyone know what the injury was?

 

[HuskerfaninOkieland]

I heard ankle injury and it was "heavily" wrapped/taped

 

[jsneb83]

He got hurt on his one kickoff return where he almost went the distance. Looked like an ankle, not sure how severe, though.

 

[HuskerfaninOkieland]

OWH has a real good picture of the that tackle. It looks like his right ankle was bent outwards.

 

[Blackshirt316]

Looked bad but at least he stayed suited up and there was talk of maybe letting him go back in. Hopefully not too bad.

I was able to save the image on my computer but I'm a little concerned about posting it. Mods? Can/Should I?

Go for it sir

I would guess it's just a moderate-bad sprain. There's no need to bring him back in to return kicks when he can't go full speed, especially when we have Burkhead and Turner. Let him heal so he can bust another big one when/if we really need it!

Pelini said he could have gone back in, but they have other guys that can return kicks so they let him rest.

Serves him right for getting caught. I blame poor conditioning. He got caught last week too but was lucky enough the defender rolled him into the endzone

Edit: I should probably point out for the sarcastically illiterate that I'm not at all serious about that first sentence...

 

[Haspula]

It seems like only our good players get injured.

 

[The Dude]

Pelini said he could have gone back in

To be fair, Bo would say this even if his entire leg was ripped off.

You guys thought it happened on the tackle? I haven't watched a TV replay, so those of you who weren't at the game had a better view of what happened. But I thought something happened as he was breaking into the open, and that's why he got caught from behind. I thought he had a fluke muscle strain or something that slowed him down as he started sprinting for daylight.

This is a very good point. When I saw the replay, it look like when he finally broke free of the group and was in the clear, he slowed down quite a bit which allowed this guy to catch up to him.
