Igetbored216 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 If he lacked mobility in the shoulder on the plane the press would have seen it. Unless Helu went home on a different plane. I did notice he looked fine during the post-game prayer. Quote Link to comment
mitch7 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 any chance he was hurt earlier in the game also because burkhead was getting a lot of early playing time. Quote Link to comment
carlfense Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I've heard that it's a stinger from multiple sources. Hope they are correct! Quote Link to comment
mattbri17 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 any chance he was hurt earlier in the game also because burkhead was getting a lot of early playing time. Helu was sick, that's why we saw Burkhead more. Quote Link to comment
TrueHuskerFan20 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 He still had his shoulder pads on during post-game prayer. If he had something wrong with his shoulder, they would have had him out of pads right away. Quote Link to comment

junior4949 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 it looked like he came down on his elbow hard not his shoulder to me Looked like he hid the injury until after he scored - real guts. He was holding it after the long run. I'm surprised with the way he was holding it that 1) the coaches left him in, and 2) they gave him the rock the very next play considering everyone could see he was hurt. At first, I thought he was holding his hand. Quote Link to comment
lilred Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I know he was sick, so that's why we didn't see a lot of him, but like someone else said, he was walking around after the game with pads on for the prayer, etc. Quote Link to comment
illnino Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 any chance he was hurt earlier in the game also because burkhead was getting a lot of early playing time. Helu was sick, that's why we saw Burkhead more. I thought they put Burkhead in because they were looking for a spark on offense. But if Helu was sick, then that would explain the game plan we had.

SOCALHUSKER Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 At first, I thought he was holding his hand. I thought he was favoring his hand too. Quote Link to comment

That thought keep coming up in my head every time Watson seemed intent on making Lee throw instead of pounding the rock. The big issue I had was that Rex looked good when he got touches, why not just let him carry the load more and RUN THE BALL? Wouldn't of had to come from behind IMO. Quote Link to comment

But if Helu was sick, then that would explain the game plan we had. It didn't explain why we were trying to run stretch plays with Missou's speedy LBs. The weakness of Missou was their d-line, so why not run it in between the tackles. Watson finally got the clue towards the end of the game and Burkhead and Helu had some nice runs to eat up the clock. Quote Link to comment
AndyDufresne Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 On the Husker tailgate show on 1620, Kugler said that Roy was having major stomach flu issues after the game. I'm not sure if he had any "incidences" during the game or not. Quote Link to comment
ticks Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 At first, I thought he was holding his hand. I thought he was favoring his hand too. He was holding up his arm. Stingers hurt, but they also make your arm go dead for a bit. Quote Link to comment
Igetbored216 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I'm sure he just has a splinter in his shoulder. He'll be okay. Quote Link to comment
