StoryTulane's Devon Walker breaks neck
Updated: September 8, 2012, 3:31 PM ET
ESPN.com news services
TULSA, Okla. -- Tulane safety Devon Walker suffered a broken neck and collapsed lung Saturday in a head-to-head collision with a teammate during a game with Tulsa, according to a Tulane trainer.
Walker was revived on the field and a tracheotomy was performed. Walker is currently in the emergency and trauma center at Saint Francis Hospital in Tulsa, but there is no further update on his condition.
Tulane assistant athletic director Roger Dunaway confirmed Walker was hurt and taken off the field in an ambulance that transported him to a Tulsa hospital.
The injury occurred on the last play of the first half. Walker had a helmet-to-helmet collision with teammate Julius Warmsley while trying to tackle Tulsa back Willie Carter. Walker then rolled on his back and didn't move.
FOX reported he stopped breathing when emergency medical workers removed his jersey and shoulder pads. The network said workers administered CPR and put in an IV before Walker began breathing again.
A hush went over the crowd at H.A. Stadium as Walker was attended to on the field. Several coaches were in tears. Spectators bowed their heads as someone on the field led the stadium in prayer.
Walker is a senior majoring in cell and molecular biology.
Information from ESPN's Brett McMurphy and The Associated Press was used in this report.

I could care less. They need to be irrelevant for several years. They need some humbling. The players are involved whether they wanted to be or not, unfortunately.

USC @ SYR in the Meadowlands. Pac-12 officiating crew. Hmmm.

Nobody is angry. If one never rooted for Penn State prior to this season why should they root for them now? The football program covered up some nasty stuff. A large amount of their fans (at least the ones I know) seem to want to avoid any punishment so their football factory isn't affected. Why would I all of a sudden start rooting for them out of sympathy? I think that program deserves to go through a losing streak but I'm not going to gain or lose a second of sleep based on their results.

I get not rooting for them. I don't get rooting against them. There is a difference.

If it makes you feel any better, I rooted against them before this whole thing happened.

Well, at least it sounds like he's getting a quality degree. Hopefully he's ok and he gets back in the classroom to finish that degree.

Shoelace just went 80 or so for a TD on his first rushing attempt. A.F. has no chance to slow him down.

FWIW, I'm not rooting against Penn State. My ":shank: lol PSU" comment would've been the same for any team that I'm not remotely a fan of (which is about 120/124 teams).

I would have rooted for UVA today regardless of whether Sandusky ever existed or not. Didn't want UVA coming off a loss heading to Atlanta next weekend.

This cat Manziel is going to have huge numbers by the time his career is over between his talent and the offense he's in.

Syracuse should be beating USC right now. Their WRs are a joke though. They've let 4 or 5 passes that would have gone for big yards go right through their hands.

Denard wasn't my concern, the o line is, playing like it too. The other is the defense wearing down as the game goes on after being beaten to a pulp last week. Starting to show those signs.

Give him a few weeks, his QB situation is a mess, he needs time. Think they will be 1-2, but I think the Kentucky game could be a big swing game. Get right on offense in an easy home win then have a week off and see how October goes.

The defensive front was definitely over hyped if week 1 said anything, been watching more Mich/AF than A&M/Florida so not sure if it's more of the same but if your eyes are right then it is. Tough to judge the OL because there's no reason for the defense to respect the pass.

Game was brutal. Neither really "deserved" to win. Looks like Clemson, FSU and VT. I'm sure Clemson drops off at some point. No great wins yet for the conference.

New here? Self Righteousness >>>>>> the reality that everyone in the football program that had a hand in the events is gone.

The service academies and a few others running the option to the befuddlement of power program defenses is one of the really cool things about college football for me.

Cliff notes on Michigan-Air Force? Any real chance of the upset happenning?
Debating whether to watch that or MSU's scrubs in the second half.

Denard with 168 and 2 TDs on the ground. Almost the entire 2H still to go. Silly.

The way you guys were talking, I expected the Gators to be losing by 30 when I flipped over.

Really missing the right side of the line from last year. Oh and that Russell Wilson guy.

A&M is outplaying them by a wide margin, poor clock management at the end of the half, should have had another 3. Still surprised it's this close.

Not sure....I've seen gimmicky teams but not ones that have two rolled into one....the hurry up triple option

I think they canceled that game because they have to play nine conference games now. TAMU blowing yet another halftime lead, shocking.

What conference does have a great win yet? Has there been a great non-conference game? Best game so far seems to be A&M/Florida.
same conference

I said this last year several times but I say it again in 2012: Troy Calhoun is a bigtime coach who is going to get a premier job and succeed. I think he's one of the best coaches in college football.

Came down to Air Force's last possession, they got stopped on fourth down around midfield with about 4 minutes left.Not sure....I've seen gimmicky teams but not ones that have two rolled into one....the hurry up triple option
