Thought this was pretty interesting. Shows that the LSU training staff is trying to be on the cutting edge of concussion treatment

Great idea, but wouldn't it be simpler to put the monitor in the helmet?

Work differently. These essentially measure the bite when you take a hit.

Thats interesting, but I remember a study they did at UNC and they couldn't make a correlation between the G's taken during a hit and a concussion.

It's a new field of study still. Some say yes and others say no.

Regarldless, its just good to be able to gather the data, because it just doesn't exist.

very cool. i'm more of the thinking that it's the rotational forces at play when getting hit, similar to when getting hit on the chin in a fight but this data could definitely shed some more light on that.

LF, Hilliard, and co will set there's off on every play they have the ball.....dudes are violent!

I agree and I bet that is what they are doing. LSU has always had one of the best athletic training staffs around.
