PhatMack19 Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Day to take with cracked bones in his spine. That doesn't sound good. http://mweb.cbssports.com/ncaaf/writer/dennis-dodd/24690793/baylors-petty-day-to-day-with-back-injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhatMack19 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 quote: Monday was a day off so Petty won't be able to test to the back on the field until Tuesday. Petty said the injury is being treated with ice and other non-invasive methods. "Right now, (I) can't sit down right, can't walk right," Petty said.

baddog Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Saw two of the hits he took, both of them running. Got sandwiched on the TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaiderRed30 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 He'll be fine. The next two weeks he only has to play until halftime. He's tough and unless he's on his deathbed I don't think he's gone miss any gametime or even run less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatnamecanipick Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 I am sure with the cracked vertebrae that some of the pain being experienced is from nerve damage. How can this get better with ice.short-term yes with less swelling, but long term I d not see how we can continue. But I am a guru and an engineer, not a doctor. I tried to get into nursing school, but they thought that I was just chasing the girls. I guess I should not have kept showing up on Friday nights.

Eagle11 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 with the score 24 - 0 in the 2nd quarter and limping pretty badly I could not believe Briles had him in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEISMAN Stats and I bet that Coach Briles gets a Heisman bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaiderRed30 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Petty wanted to play and the offense looked terrible. It had nothing to do with the heisman it had to do with getting the team ready for the big 12. Briles is old school and that rubs off on his players. They are tough.

Eagle11 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 I agree in part RaiderRed...........but in the end the kid does not make that decision. There is tough and there is stupid. Had Petty taken one more good shot and been lost for 4, 6, 8 games Briles would have been roasted. BUT, every athlete is one hit away from not playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimer Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Sad part is that likely he will be targeted - not right but he will - I just hope that if they play him he does not make the injury worse. From what I have read he is a quality young man and if healthy would have been one of the favorites for the Heisman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhatMack19 Posted September 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Northwestern State, Buffalo, and bye is Baylor's schedule the next 3 weeks. Heisman's are nice, but Baylor has a legit shot at winning the Big 12 and making the playoff if Petty is healthy. I would sit him 3 weeks and have him 100% for Iowa State on Sept 27th.

If nothing else, backup needs playing time in case he does go down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
