4. It may have been a hard jolt to the heart.

That can stop it from beating.

5. Yes, a good swift shoulder or head to the sternum could have done it.

8. One hundred percent safety is an impossibility, no matter how much gear you have. (nt)

2. More good vibes. I really like colleges like Tulane where football is not king.

Tulane to build football stadium on campus for 2014 season .....

The school said the stadium would cost about $60 million and that about $40 million is expected to come from alumni groups.

6. Devon Walker: revived on field

Tulane safety Devon Walker was injured on the last play of the first half during Saturday's game at Tulsa and left the field in an ambulance.

After treating Walker for several minutes on the field, paramedics strapped him to a stretcher and moved him into a waiting ambulance, which remained on the field with its doors closed for several more minutes before slowly leaving the stadium.

Walker did not appear to move as he was being treated. Fox sideline reporter Desmond Purnell said on the television broadcast of the game that Walker stopped breathing for a time but resumed after paramedics used CPR.
