A very scary scene on Saturday night during the Ohio State-Nebraska football game in Columbus, as Huskers quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. lost consciousness after he took a hit and had a hard fall on the sidelines, and was taken off the field on a stretcher.
"Tommy" chants are starting to emerge here in Ohio Stadium.

Armstrong was awake and gave a thumbs up to the crowd as he was being carted off:
The senior quarterback was taken to the hospital, and Nebraska released a statement that he has movement in all of his extremities:

That’s very encouraging news, and hopefully Armstrong will indeed be okay.
UPDATE– Fantastic news as Armstrong is already back on the sidelines:
