I'm told lots of guys play with this type of injury, so I'm hoping Mike is one of those guys. Nebraska's Bobby Newcombe, who has missed the last two games with a sore knee, should benefit from the Cornhuskers' off week and return for their Sept. 26 game with Washington, coach Frank Solich said. But No. 2 quarterback Eric Crouch aggravated a hamstring strain in Saturday's 24-3 win at Cal. Oklahoma coach John Blake expects quarterback Brandon Daniels to return from a shoulder injury this week. But Brown pointed out that quarterbacks are more vulnerable these days.
Defenses are better than ever before and they have guys who are very talented and can run.
All of that pressure going to the quarterback does make him more vulnerable with people trying to get to him. Allen felt Missouri's Harold Piersey knocked a KU receiver down before making a key interception in the end zone. Kansas was inside the Missouri 10 at the time and trailed just 27-23. We got about 10 angles of it. ABC did a great job of showing what happened.
