Thanks for posting this!  The article wasn't entirely clear, but I'm 
assuming this means he played the whole game with a broken finger; 
apparently without any bandage or splint.  Pretty dedicated.

They actually showed this on the big screens at the game.  I don't 
think it got much of an explanation, but the Cornhusker fans in my 
area all knew what it meant.
