The problem is the NCAA protocols and Herman's desire to win over the kid's health. The doctor may have done a quick check on the sideline, and said he was cleared to go back in, but Herman should have not put him in.
The NFL protects its players more than the NCAA protects it's kids. In the NFL, is a concussion is even SUSPECTED, the player is taken to the locker room for a full evaluation. In the NCAA, the do some quick tests on the sideline and clear them the to go in after a couple plays.
Did Herman get the doctor's clearance. Yep, he was VERY quick to say he "does what the doctors tell him" and pass off the responsibility on the doctors with no real concern for his kids. Dabo on the other hand sent his QB to the locker room and left him out of the game when the same thing happened to him.
See the difference?
I feel like they did the test which didn't come back positive for a concussion. Then Sam insisted on going back in (probably didn't want to lose starting spot). Herman puts him in.
After that, wisps wouldn't want to do a full concussion test during week, because if it did come back positive it raises questions about the effectiveness of their little eye test and looks bad on Herman for putting him back in. Basically, they don't want to know.
