  • I apologize for the grammar if it was a big issue, but my point was that Boise State earned the discussion of being in the Title Game based on their past rep, that's what I was trying to say if it meant bad grammar.

    To the actual reason to this post, it sounds like Riley is already sounding like he will miss next week's game based on Twitter/SLTrib.

      Riley already listed as out for next week. I guess he did suffer a collapsed lung with the broken rib.

        Yikes, that sounds painful. One of our docs, what happens when your lung collapses? That seems like a pretty major injury.

        • I wonder if the broken rib occurred on the previous hit with the collapsed lung manifesting itself on the touchdown throw. The previous hit was a far bigger shot to the ribs and he came up shaken.

            Called a pneumothorax. If an entire lung is collapsed then it's a pretty big deal -- you need a chest tube put in to suck out the air from the lining around the lung and at least a few days in the hospital on oxygen.

            I would guess it's a small pneumothorax like Tony Romo had. Probably an overnight stay on oxygen and a follow-up CT scan or chest x-ray in a few days is all that is needed, along with avoiding more trauma. Definitely a good idea to have him sit out another week I think, although Romo played the following Sunday.

              Sitting next week is a good idea. The bye week should help. The bigger question is will it be healed enough to allow travel on a pressurized airplane in 3 weeks.
