crazy how bad concussions were just a few years ago and nothing done about them. can only imagine how widespread this must have been and was probably the norm. scary.
DOSS: We were in man coverage. I was on Roscoe [Parrish]. I should not have been on Roscoe.
DUSTIN FOX, OHIO STATE CORNERBACK: A few plays earlier I had I blitzed off the edge and McGahee almost knocked me out. I'm pretty sure I had a concussion. I don't remember too much about the game after that hit, but I do remember I was supposed to be on Roscoe. I told Doss, "I don't know what's going on. I don't know where I am." So Doss took Roscoe.
ROSCOE PARRISH, MIAMI RECEIVER: I think Fox was supposed to be on me. Yeah, because I was [teammates] with him in Buffalo and we talked about it. And then Mike Doss came over and pressed me and when a guy gets in your face and you got a go route you're licking your chops.
KEN DORSEY, MIAMI QUARTERBACK: I think we actually audibled to that one. They were showing a blitz look and Willis picked it up. Their corners jumped both out routes and I had time to look for Roscoe.
Dorsey hit Parrish in the end zone for a touchdown to give Miami a 7-0 lead with 4:09 remaining in the first quarter.
