USC concussion test - to allow Robert Woods back in the game

That's not an Arizona State University admissions test.
Those are the three questions that USC standout receiver Robert Woods apparently answered correctly when forced by the Trojans' sideline medical staff Thursday night during a standard concussion-syndrome test.
Woods passed without a No. 2 pencil or a calculator, standing upright and smiling. This was just moments after he staggered, wobbled, spun and then collapsed face-first at midfield, seemingly headed for the wrong sideline. He had just been part of a brain-jarring, helmet-to- helmet hit while laying down a block on a punt return in the first quarter against Utah.
The 20-year-old was slapped on the back and allowed by those in charge of protecting him from himself to go back into the game, and he eventually yanked in a touchdown pass during USC's come-from-behind win.
So all's good?
Lane Kiffin should have his head examined.

Man, that Lane Kiffin. What a class act

Apparently they ask RGIII Sunday, what the score was and what quarter it was, and he couldn't answer. But atleast they kept him out.

Meh. Good enough for me. People have been knocked loopy before and somehow survived

Of course he knew who the President is.

I guess people think this makes it a concussion???
cause it doesn't fwiw
you can be knocked loopy without sustaining a concussion......that's why they have test
and this test was/is fine. no different than what is the score or what quarter is it
if he answered the 3 ?'s spot on what's the issue???

That sounds similar to the concussion test I was told I took after the first one I got in high school. Coaches later told me I got the president question wrong (said Bush, it was Clinton's second term) and was repeating things like I was friggin Rain Man. They were nice enough to keep me out though.

I think the test they gave Mettenburger earlier in the year was to have him count back from 100 to zero by three.
Hell, I would have got to about 60 or so and said "Screw it, I don't even feel like playing anymore."

If you went out on the street and asked those questions to ordinary people, I suspect close to half of them would be suspected of having a cuncussion.

Why do I get the feeling that third question went something like...
quote:
What is 100 minus 7?
100 what?
Minus 7
107
MINUS 7.
:blink:
Yeah - He's good.

Have any of you guys who are questioning this ever got a concussion? You damn sure aren't answering those quickly. If he could answer them decently quick, I'd say he was fine. I wouldn't have been able to spell my name if they'd have asked me.
This is not happening with a real concussion. Not within a timespan that is considered alright to play again.

Serial 7's (100-7-7-7) is actually a good cognitive screening task. People with brain abnormalities really struggle with it. Though if there are other indications of a potential injury, such as balance problems, further testing beyond these few screening items should be done.

When I was in high school our first baseman got hit hard having to come across the bag to catch a throw, and his head just bounced on the ground when he hit. He said he was fine.
The next inning our pitcher got in trouble so we brought the first baseman in to pitch and he struck out the side
While were batting in the top of the inning he comes and ask me who's pitching, and had to tell him he was and that he was doing pretty good. We ended up losing and it was a playoff game and he was a senior, and on our way home he asked me two different times I we had won or lost. He cried both times after I told him we lost, it was pretty sad.

Regardless of concussion, I think a lot of college football players would struggle with this question
