Any chance we get an honest answer about BS's status for Saturday? Or do we just get mealy-mouthed cliches where we won't know what is up until the first series on Saturday night?
Nope. Coach Diaco will make Temple prepare for both. If Temple is smart, they prepare as if Shirreffs IS playing. If he doesn't, it takes the scrambling out of the gameplan.Any chance we get an honest answer about BS's status for Saturday?

My money's on the latter.Any chance we get an honest answer about BS's status for Saturday? Or do we just get mealy-mouthed cliches where we won't know what is up until the first series on Saturday night?

Jeff Fisher and Bob Stoops should have been arrested, Stoops more so. He put an amateur kid's life in danger. At least, Keenum gets paid (at least transparently) for his services. Both QBs thought they were Batman.IMO, regardless, he should sit that one out. He got his bell rung.. as in he was concussed... let him chill out for a minute, get his brain back in order, then get ready for the bowl game...
BTW, anybody else see the Rams' QB Keenum get knocked silly on Sunday? Coach Fisher should be fined for not getting him out of there.. My opinion...

As far as Shirreffs goes, if he's cleared he should be able to play. He was on the sideline in warm-ups with Myers during the second half and he seemed like he was have a pretty lucid conversation with him and wasn't bothered by the noise or lights. He didn't "look" bad, but that's how football got itself into this predicament in the first place. If he passes the concussion protocol, he should be able to play. If not, see you in December, Bryant.
Did you see the lineman try to ragdoll Keenum to his feet? The Concussion guy having to take a leak (or get popcorn or a Coca-Cola refill) is no excuse. There are dozens of coaches and other team and NFL personnel in the press box. The entire system broke down. The black marks on Goodell's record just keep on piling up, don't they?The Steve Czaban show yesterday merciless toasted the NFL regarding Keenum. As they said, the NFL has a person hired to attend each game to watch from above whose sole job is to look for plays like Keenum's and make sure he is taken out before the next play. If a QB falling to his hands and knees in the middle of the field doesn't get your attention, what will? Plans, processes and technology always lose to human indifference when humans are a single point of failure in the system.

Whaler, you are really going back in the archives for that one. It was close for the first half at Pitt, but I think they ran away from us in the second half.Maybe Matt Bonislawski will start - strange things happen in Pennsylvania!

Taking this in a different direction....If Sherriffs is out, I sure hope Anderson is getting reps with the first squad this week. He may have to start the second half.
No, not with the wildcat again...
He's cleared to practice, not cleared for contact as of yet.OU QB concussed this weekend- QB cleared to practice...they had no need to keep it quiet. I guess they line up and say F*&^ the 'secret competitive advantage'.

Yep - Exactly what I wrote...He's cleared to practice, not cleared for contact as of yet.
Cleared for contact is the more important hurdle in the concussion protocol. A player can be cleared to practice in order to stay sharp. But the doctors have to clear the player for contact before he steps between the lines on game day.Yep - Exactly what I wrote...
IS BS cleared for practice?
