COLLEGE FOOTBALL DAILY REPORT : AROUND THE NATION : Nebraska’s Frazier Has Blood Clot

Tommie Frazier, quarterback for No. 2 Nebraska and a strong contender for the Heisman Trophy, might be sidelined for the rest of the season because of a blood clot in his right calf.

Coach Tom Osborne said Frazier was admitted Sunday to Bryan Hospital in Lincoln. Frazier, a junior and key to Nebraska’s option offense, will sit out Saturday’s game against Wyoming, Osborne said. Brook Berringer has been Frazier’s backup.

“It could be a few weeks, it could be the season. At this point nobody knows,” Osborne said.

Team doctor Pat Clare said the blood clot was being treated with enzymes and blood thinner. The clot has shrunk 25 percent since treatment began Sunday.

“He’s responding very well,” Clare said.
