[Husker] Montee Ball

[Scott Stewart]

That scenario is even more concerning. It is very possible he had two
concussions within the same game. Additionally, the first one would make
him more susceptible to the second because he is less able to protect
himself.

I remember in the Gator Bowl NU's QB (Ganz?) got his bell rung and asked
the linemen for what the play had been so he could fool the staff he wasn't
concussed. Players will return to the game every time if the staff lets
them. The onus is on the staff to protect them from themselves.
