BYU’s Clawson sorry Bradford got hurt
Coleby Clawson probably didn’t expect one of his hits to be replayed on ESPN just over 2,700 times, but that’s what happens when you put the reigning Heisman Trophy winner out for a month 29 minutes into his season.
On Monday, the BYU linebacker told the Salt Lake Tribune that he was sorry Sam Bradford got injured.
“I really do feel bad, because he’s a great player,” Clawson said. “Sam Bradford is a great player and a good person, too. I feel bad that he got hurt, and I hope he can get back soon. As far as our game, it probably helped us win” because Bradford did not play in the second half.
Clawson said it is the “nature of the beast, playing football,” that players get hurt.
“I am always trying to get big hits, but I am never trying to put anybody out or hurt somebody,” he said.
Clawson mentioned that he received several negative Facebook messages from OU fans, but nothing alarming.
On Monday, coach Bob Stoops announced that Bradford had a third-degree AC joint sprain and would miss 2-4 weeks.

Oh please Clawson, you gave it everything you had, as hard as you had, which is football, however, your continued celebration of the hit after seeing he was down all the way to the sidelines shows how ‘sorry’ you really were.
