Shoulder injury ends season for Nebraska’s Keller

Nebraska quarterback Sam Keller will sit out the rest of the season because of a shoulder injury.

Coach Bill Callahan didn’t specify Monday the type of injury Keller suffered late in the Cornhuskers’ 28-25 loss at Texas when he was hit by end Eddie Jones.

Callahan said Joe Ganz would start this week against No. 8 Kansas.

The coach also said that linebacker Lance Brandenburgh suffered a season-ending shoulder injury against the Longhorns while trying to make a tackle in the fourth quarter.

Keller, who transferred from Arizona State last year, this season passed for 2,422 yards and 14 touchdowns with 10 interceptions.

Coach Mark Richt apologized for Georgia’s raucous celebration after its first touchdown against Florida, a display that he encouraged.

The motivational tactic seemed to work -- the No. 10 Bulldogs went on to a 42-30 victory, only their third win against the 18th-ranked Gators in the last 18 years.

But Richt apologized to Southeastern Conference Commissioner Mike Slive by phone and in a letter.

About 70 players stormed the field after Knowshon Moreno’s touchdown run, leading to numerous penalty flags. Richt said afterward he told his team he would give them extra running if they didn’t get called for excessive celebration.

Washington running back J.R. Hasty returned to the team after quitting the Huskies last week.

Coach Tyrone Willingham did not offer a reason why Hasty decided to return.

Backup quarterback Ryan Perrilloux and linebacker Derrick Odom are not expected to play for No. 3 Louisiana State against No. 17 Alabama because of their part in a nightclub brawl Friday, Coach Les Miles said.

Florida State backup quarterback Xavier Lee was suspended two games for a violation of team rules, but Coach Bobby Bowden did not release details of the suspension.

The Seminoles next play at No. 2 Boston College and at No. 11 Virginia Tech.

Mississippi end Greg Hardy, the SEC’s leader in sacks, was suspended indefinitely for a violation of team rules, Coach Ed Orgeron said.

After reaching an agreement with the Pacific 10 Conference and Fox Sports Net, ESPN will air Saturday night’s game between No. 4 Oregon and No. 6 Arizona State. The game starts at 3:45 p.m. PDT.
