wasn’t he hurt in the second quarter then played the entire second half? If he could play then, how can he not now? Do they shoot up pain meds during g games still?

Played the rest of the game. I was on crutches the next four days.
cast from wrist to shoulder with a bend at the elbow. I went to the infirmary after the game. The doctor pushed straight on the arm and it did not hurt so he said it wasn't broken. The next day the hospital doctor I went to turned my arm from from outside the left side to the inside and I nearly jumped threw the roof in pain. It was the outside bone that was broken. Everyone was so nice to me though, and very sympathetic. The guys held the doors for me, and the women all smiled at me when I went to the Hesburgh library to study or pretend to study. I was still miserable and lucky to have it on only four weeks.
As for ankles, yes they linger for later after the first sprain. Of course we "fake jocks" didn't have the treatment the real jocks had. Hopefully Moore will be ready and at near 100%.

comes off and the ankle swells and tightens up you're done for awhile.
Swelling from a sprained joint is a one way street. Once it starts, you have to rest it until it goes down.
Bryant Young continued to play in the Air Force game in 1991, after he got chop blocked in the knee (got sprained). He was out for the bulk of USC and Navy, and mostly out for the Tennessee game later, and we really could have used him.
That being said, Moore is probably being treated with lots of ice, compression, and anti-inflammatory meds right now.
