Anybody heard anything on the injury front? Mostly wondering about Niemann.
On a related note, is there a concussion protocol in NCAA football like there is in the NFL? There's been two games now where Smith has just gotten crushed on a helmet to helmet hit right before halftime and has come right back in both games (Indiana and Nebraska).
Niemann practiced today and per KF barring a setback will play
Wow. Are we doing enough to protect guys with concussions? Does the NCAA establish and enforce concussion protocol or does the team have that latitude?
I think back to ARob's last season. Concussed against Sparty and didn't he suffer another one two weeks later?

Agree, this could be a big loss for them on 3rd and short and 4th and short situations where they bring him in to block. He is their Plewa/Cox.MSU and Iowa are a couple of the only teams using a FB. Plewa and Cox went down last year and we suffered even with 2 NFL players on our line. This year with Plewa/Cox, the run game is humming.
I see MSU's FB was injured last week:
MSU senior fullback Trevon Pendleton went down Saturday with a left leg injury that looked significant. The best fullback of Dantonio’s tenure, missing the ultimate fullback showcase against Iowa? It wouldn’t be the 2015 Spartans without something.
