Nebraska football: Matt Slauson ‘one play away’ from being paralyzed

The Nebraska football team has been talking about toughness and “buy-in” for most of the season. It appears Scott Frost and company will be able to point to a former Husker as an example of exactly what they mean.

Ok, what Matt Slauson did is actually not something the coaching staff will likely be wanting its current offensive linemen to do. They can use the Indianapolis Colts’ veteran’s story as an example of drive and toughness they are looking for.

That’s because it was recently revealed that Slauson played almost an entire half of football with a broken back.
