Shakir Bell Arm is in a Sling

[MAKBison]

Watching the Indiana State at Indiana game Bell has a long run and is now out of game with his arm in a sling!

[tjbison]

can only take so many carries, Miles ran the shit out if him and I'll give Stanford credit he mixed it up

Shakir is fun to watch but I felt for the kid the last 3 years he has been beat to shit

hope he is ok otherwise ISU is done

[MAKBison]

I agree, he gets the shit kicked out of him...I felt bad for the kid last year when we played him.

[devin45k]

He is a stud but he is having to work harder than he should.

[NorthernBison]

They are getting absolutely killed. Indiana should set a school scoring record. Wow.

[td577]

I figured it would be about week 5 before Bell completely fell apart.

[MAKBison]

They did Highest in new Stadium history so far---

Bell has heart and soul man, he made ISU b come from the bowls of suck to a respectable team. unfortunately the future doesn't look bright and he will most likely go out this year at some point and that's too bad.

ISU is the perfect example that you can't lean your team on 1 guy

great player just got used up his first 3 yrs, it's just my opinion

Separated shoulder is what Izzo tweeted.

[Bison bison]

I heard on good morning America that this could be a good thing. This way his arm and shoulder can better decide if they should divorce or not.

Horrible night for the Missouri Valley.

I figure he would get to week 5 on heart and soul alone. He is one beat up young man. Regardless of the outcome of the Bison game last year, Bell absolutely got the shit kicked out of him. During the game we were saying there is no way he comes back after that hit. We said that many times. Lo and behold, he was back out there with 5 more straight carries. There is no way that kid remembers the fourth quarter.

[MAKBison]

ISU players are dropping like flies---another injury! That's 3 players done for the day. Left guard out ( ran off field so its not so bad,but geesh you hate to see these injuries prior to conference play)

Until he was not---if I remember right he was knocked out of that game late

this, I agree thought the same

Western Illinois defense was the only thing that impressed me although they did play Hampton

Kurt Hess played like garbage tonight

I've shared this before but the state championship game his senior year he was carried off the field 2-3 times but kept coming back. He rushed for over 200 yards and they won the game. Tonight's injury could happen to anyone. The guy who tackled him was the son of Mark Murphy, son of former Packer player with the same name.

Shakir is a great example of a man, student and player no doubt. But he could have been way better playing for a different team good luck

Gotta like a kid like that!
Locked like he rolled over the ball. Announces we guessing a stinger I thought rotater cuff, but who knows. Tough to lose a guy like that in your first game. If he is out for any length of time it will be a much tougher road for the trees.

[HerdBot]

Doesnt matter. Indiana State has the worst defense in football. Should have made a better effort to keep their coach. Back to mediocre play.

Not as bad as the Pioneer conference with Drake losing to an NAIA team http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/boxscore?gameId=332412181
and Valpo getting creamed by the Whioux.

Most of Pioneer is similar to D3 and NAIA so this is not a shock. Butler usually plays local D3 or NAIA schools fairly even and they are a better Pioneer team.

Bell departed with 1:20 left in the first half after landing hard on his right shoulder at the end of a 45-yard run. He was diagnosed with a separated shoulder at halftime and spent the second half dressed in street clothes. He finished with 18 carries for 113 yards but is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks.

``The good news is that they did an X-ray and there is nothing broken,'' coach Mike Sanford said after making his Indiana State debut. ``We're going to wait and see the severity of it as we go along.''

Their coach last year would have taped him up and told him to carry the ball with the other arm and get back in there. Heck in our game he got hit and was stumbling toward the wrong sideline till his teammates set him going the right direction and the coach had him back in there.

[A1pigskin]

I thought he had a few concussions last year when the Bison played them.
