2012-2013 NCAA Football Thread (National Signing Day)

As far as Penn State's kicker goes, the kicker they were supposed to have, who would have contended for Big 10 1st team honors (he was also the punter) transferred to Texas in the wake of the sanctions. Though he had a reason outside of the sanctions to do so; he's from Texas and his mother was recently diagnosed with MS. This kid they have kicking now was a lightly recruited kid who wasn't expected to play this year. I fear he will now have whatever the David Carr syndrome equivalent is for kickers.

I can't believe there isn't some soccer player at University Park that can kick better than this guy. At least you know going in that it'll be four down territory nearly every drive and call your plays accordingly.

it's still #6 vs #244...i mean...come on.

Like I said, they were put into this position by forces outside of their power.

UCLA - Nebraska is very entertaining so far.

UCLA - Nebraska is very entertaining so far.

Certainly is. Neither team wants to play D.

Nebraska hit a 54 yarder to tie it

[Mr. Sinister]

It is simply a thing of beauty watching LSU run the ball.

Erin Andrews is a bad host. Do you have to go high-pitched every commercial break?

Upset!

Tieeeed it up!

Talk normal

Am I missing something, or is there no where to discuss the terrible injury in Tulsa yet?

Tulane safety Devon Walker fractured his spine in a head-to-head collision with a teammate during a game in Tulsa, the team said Saturday.

Walker also suffered a broken neck and a collapsed lung in the collision.

Walker was revived on the field and a tracheotomy was performed. Walker is in the emergency and trauma center at Saint Francis Hospital in Tulsa.

Tulane issued a statement Saturday night on Walker's condition: "Devon Walker sustained a cervical spine fracture. He is at St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa where he is in stable condition. Currently, he is in traction with a lot of swelling in his neck and he is undergoing treatment for the swelling. The current plan is for him to have surgery in the next one to two days. He is being treated by specialists. The Tulsa physicians did a great job taking care of Devon."

I said something about it a couple pages back. Seemed to go unnoticed though. Absolutely terrible injury.

UVA wins. PSU has a horrible kicker.

Yes the kicker for PSU is horrible but you can't blame the loss all on him Bill O'brien play calling all day was horrible especially in the red zone was horrible. IMHO Bill O'brien may not be in State College long.

I don't know. I just, it's got me a little shaken quite frankly. Football is a violent game and all but I think it could really spark discussions about Goodell's policies and all. I'm just surprised no one had started it it's own thread; it's such a horrific injury. The phrase "revived on the field" just gives me the worst feeling in my stomach. God bless that poor young man and his family watching.

[Mr. Sinister]

Yeah, that collision was pretty bad. Don't think I've ever heard of a situation where a player had to be revived on the field. That had to be terrifying for everyone that was there.

Definitely man.

The initial contact really didn't look that violent. I've seen a lot more violent collisions and guys turned out just fine. Then you see the guy's lifeless body on top of the pile and your heart just sinks to the ground. I think some major praise goes to those team trainers/doctors and medical staff that got to him on the field quickly and were able to revive him. I couldn't imagine being in that situation.
