No More Carousel

Stunning news earlier today for cougar fans. Any quarterback controversy that may have existed is over. Riley Nelson will have season ending surgery on his non-throwing shoulder to repair damage sustained. No question injuries can be expected as it is a part of football. His anticipated recovery is approximately 4-5 months. It is rather unfortunate circumstances though to end any quarterback carousel this season. The junior quarterback ends the 2010 campaign 20 of 40 for 205 yards and 2 TDs. On the ground Riley ran for 148 yards on 31 attempts with a solo TD. His grit and ability to improvise will be missed and look forward to his return.
