Hokies right guard lost part of finger, played on→

The school says Nosal lost the finger tip when it got caught between two helmets in the first half Saturday against Central Michigan. After a brief search, team doctors found the severed piece inside his glove and determined that it could be reattached.

They gave 6-foot-6, 293-pound redshirt junior the option to do it right then or have the tip put on ice.

He chose going back in the game, received some pain medication and went back in.

How A College Kid’s Photograph Helped Launch Denard Robinson’s Heisman Candidacy Sam Wolson is less of a football diehard than a photography buff… He mentioned the challenge of finding the critical play, about capturing, as he put it, that exact moment. On Saturday at Notre Dame Stadium, he did just that, and within a matter of hours a student journalist had become the accidental propagandist for an even more accidental Heisman campaign. “He was, like, ‘Dude, you’ve got to put this photo up on the AP,’” Wolson said. “And I said, ‘Why? It’s a cool photo, but it’s not anything fantastic.’ And he said, ‘No, you don’t understand. It looks exactly like the fucking Heisman pose!’” (via Deadspin)
