Last season Falk was knocked out of games with concussions a couple of times. When he came off the field after one of those incidents his eyes were dilated like saucers yet the med staff let him back in the 2nd half. Does he seem susceptible to that?
Please don't put things on here that are not true, makes you look well crazy. Falk had one concussion, 1 vs Colorado. He hurt his shoulder vs UCLA, I was at the game and was allowed to come back and play.
Others are questioning the concussion protocall @ WSU as well. http://www.knowconcussion.org/2015/11/23/luke-falk-likely-has-concussion-but-doing-real-well/
As you know, but may not wish to recall, part of Leech's undoing @ TT was his handling of player concussions.
Once researched, the Craig James' kid's story fell apart. I think it's pretty safe to say the Texas Tech thing never really had anything to do with concussion protocol. It was about a bratty kid with a grievance against his coach and a high-profile father willing to do whatever it took to blow it up in the media.
The comical thing is the vast majority of Texas Tech's fanbase still follows Leach.
As for last year, I have no idea about what happened. I remember Falk getting stretchered off in a game and then missing the following week's game. Beyond that, I couldn't speculate. Very few concussions require multi-week absences, many concussed players can get cleared in a matter of a day or two. The problem, of course, is when a kid shows a proclivity to getting concussions. That's when you have to be super careful.
