Notebook: Injuries mount for Huskers, Westerkamp sent to hospital
FRANCIS GARDLER, Journal StarNebraska pocketed the win Saturday, but it didn't come without injuries to several key Huskers, including Jordan Westerkamp, who was taken to the hospital Saturday.
The senior wide receiver was injured in the third quarter of Nebraska's 31-16 win over Illinois after he landed awkwardly while an opponent's helmet caught him in the back.
He lay on the field for several minutes, before making a very slow walk off the field. Husker head coach Mike Riley said he was taken to the hospital "just to make sure they check everything out with him. We don't know anything more than that right now."
