Not to mention, Morris was waving off a substitution to the sideline. So, somebody over there was at least engaged with the players on the field. Just a bunch of lies being tossed out here.

Maybe that roughing the passer penalty should've clued him into the fact that his QB just got pummeled...

He was thinking about his post-game bucket-'o-spaghetti. Hoke ain't got time fo personal fouls.

I see no reason why it couldn't be a matter of opinion and SOP, although I wasn't aware of that being some kind of strict, universally adopted rule. And I think someone brought it up earlier in the thread, but I don't remember people being especially outraged when Gardner played the whole OSU/UM game last year, dragging a leg behind him and pretty clearly beat to hell. Or, I'm sure, quite a few other players in recent years who have kept going when they were in obvious, observable pain.

Head injuries, or in this case--potential head injuries are a much larger issue these days given the documented long-term issues they cause.
The bottom line in all of this is that leaving Morris in that game did no good. He was playing horribly, and was clearly hurt...in more ways than one. Gardner was on the sidelines healthy. Should he have been pulled prior to the hit? Who knows. That's a matter of opinion. But when you throw in the possible head injury following that hit, it should be pretty cut-and-dry. You get him out to evaluate him at the very least, and you certainly don't send him back out a few plays later.

Well, see, the OC wears a headset. From what I've seen, Nussmeier is usually only a few feet from Hoke (insert "everybody's a few feet from Hoke on the sideline" fat joke) and he's wearing a headset in every pic/video I've seen. Why didn't somebody upstairs clue him in? And if they did, why wasn't he trying to get him off the field?

And that will be what they will stand on, despite the fact that's not the underlying issue.

Another quote from the presser:
Hoke on whether the athletic trainers did tests on the sideline, “I assume so.”
OK, let me understand this... you've now had 2 days to talk to your medical staff... and.. you didn't even ask them if they tested him? You just assume so?
