In the first half of a game that was already slipping away, freshman quarterback Cutter Boley was tackled awkwardly, his neck bending in a way that made you wince just watching on TV. He stayed down. He was helped off.
The "Future of the Program" looked like he was done for the day.
Then, inexplicably to some, he came back in. And not only did he come back in, he stayed in until the bitter end of a 45-17 blowout, taking hits behind an offensive line that couldn't block a stiff breeze.
Cutter Boley is out of the injury tent and running and passing along the sideline.
