Jordan Westerkamp absorbed blow after blow against Michigan State on Saturday night, and each time, the Nebraska junior wide receiver, although sometimes gingerly, got back up.
Had Westerkamp ever taken that many hits in a game?
“Not that I can remember,” he said, “which isn’t a good thing.”
Westerkamp smiled and laughed, recognizing his unintended humor.
Yes, he went through concussion protocol – twice, in fact. Once after he’d left the game in the second quarter, and again after the game, a stirring 39-38 come-from-behind victory over No. 7 Michigan State.
He passed both times.
