Northwestern backup linebacker Brett Walsh was put on a stretcher and carted off the field during the third quarter of Northwestern’s contest with Iowa with the game tied at 24.
Walsh was on kickoff coverage immediately following Northwestern’s game-tying touchdown and collapsed on the field. He was on the ground for several minutes as trainers tended to him. Northwestern players were seen kneeling, and some formed prayer circles as Walsh was on the ground near the 20 yardline.
Walsh was tended to for several minutes before slowly being lifted onto a stretcher by a team of trainers and other various personnel.
