Notre Dame wide receiver Torii Hunter Jr. is in concussion protocol after leaving his teams 50-47 double-overtime Sunday loss at Texas following a big hit in the end zone.Fighting Irish coach Brian Kelly said Monday it is too early to tell whether Hunter and safety Avery Sebastian -- who is also in concussion protocol after a big hit Sunday -- will be ready for Notre Dames home opener Saturday against Nevada.Hunter tweeted Monday that he is doing better and would bounce back.Hunter was drilled close to the head by Longhorns defensive back DeShon Elliott in the end zone with 30 seconds left in the third quarter. Hunter was trying to corral what would have been a 19-yard touchdown pass from QB?DeShone Kizer on third down, but the hit jarred the ball loose. Hunter was tended to on the ground for several minutes after the play.No flags were thrown and no review was held, despite new NCAA rules this season that allow replay officials to retroactively issue targeting penalties.Notre Dame had a potential game-tying 36-yard field goal blocked on the next play.We sent the clip, obviously, to the supervisor of officials with the ACC; we got confirmation back that that would have most likely have been a targeting call, Kelly said Monday during a teleconference. We just dont understand why that was not reviewed by the Big 12. I guess theyre going to be reaching out to them to find out why that wasnt reviewed, but clearly, win or lose, player safety should be at the front of this game, and we dont believe that that was the case in this instance.Hunter, a redshirt junior captain, entered this season as the Irishs lone proven option in the receiving game. Without Hunter, Notre Dame went on to complete just 3 of 7 passes for 48 yards over the course of the fourth quarter and two overtimes. Jaquiski Tartt Super Bowl Jersey .

Joe Staley Super Bowl Jersey . - After leading the Saints to a fourth playoff appearance in five seasons, Drew Brees expressed confidence in the direction of his team and, perhaps more importantly, showed a willingness to listen to contract proposals if the team needs his help getting under the NFLs salary cap. FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Arkansas made a point a year ago to promote and publicize itself as the home of the largest offensive line in football, both in college and the NFL.This season, a line in transition has left the No. 20 Razorbacks (3-1, 0-1 Southeastern Conference) focused more on performance than girth through three games.Its a unit that once again hurt Arkansas in a 45-24 loss to No. 9 Texas A&M last week, a game in which the Razorbacks struggled in short-yardage situations and saw quarterback Austin Allen repeatedly bruised and battered by the Aggies pass rush.While the Razorbacks did gain almost 500 yards in the loss and averaged six yards per play, they failed to score touchdowns during three key goal-line chances. One was the result of a fumble by running back Rawleigh Williams, but the other two came after Arkansas simply couldnt create the holes it needed to score on a jaw-dropping nine plays from the Texas A&M 2-yard line -- or less.And those plays dont include two others that didnt count because of Texas A&M penalties.Lots of missed opportunities out there for us in that game, Allen said. Weve got to finish those drives if we want to win SEC games.Arkansas averaged 319.6 pounds per offensive linemen a year ago, an average thats down only slightly to 318.4 this season after the Razorbacks were forced to replace three starters because of graduation and early NFL entry.While more mass might have helped against the Aggies, experience would have been even better. Right tackle Brian Wallace made his first career start in the game, while left guard Hjalte Froholdt -- a former defensive lineman -- and right guard Jake Raulerson are in their first seasons as starters as well.ddddddddddddLeft tackle Dan Skipper and center Frank Ragnow have provided the experience for the Razorbacks, but their contributions werent enough to overcome Texas A&M in short-yardage situations.Were not as stout as Id like to be, especially there on the goal line, Arkansas coach Bret Bielema said. Up front, youd like to get a bigger push from tackle to tackle, and right now we just dont have it. We can and we will, and well continue to develop it, but right now we dont.If theres reason for optimism about improvement, it comes from Bielemas lengthy history of developing standout linemen. Also, after allowing four sacks in a season-opening win over Louisiana Tech, Arkansas has allowed only three in the three games since -- though none of that helped ease the frustration of last weeks missed goal-line chances.They threw multiple looks at us, but it really doesnt matter what the look is, Ragnow said. We should have been able to execute.Despite the pressure he faced against Texas A&M, including one hit that sent him to the sideline medical tent in the first half, Allen threw for a career-high 371 yards in the loss.Bielema said the junior signal caller made his frustrations known with the blocking of his offensive line during the game. Afterward, however, Allen said he has full faith the line play will improve -- beginning this week when the Razorbacks play their final nonconference game against Alcorn State.(There are) still some young guys up there on the offensive line, Allen said. Its the first SEC game, and theyre going to get better. ' ' '
