Wednesday, January 16 Cougars QB broke hand six weeks earlier Associated Press PULLMAN, Wash. -- Washington State quarterback Jason Gesser played in the Sun Bowl with a broken bone in his throwing hand. The junior said Tuesday he broke his right hand during the Apple Cup against Washington Nov. 17, but didn't tell coach Mike Price. "I didn't want anybody to know about it," he said. "I didn't want to have an excuse for anything." The bone is in Gesser's right palm just below the pinky finger, WSU head athletic trainer Bill Drake said. The break is expected to heal in time for spring drills in April. Gesser wears a splint on the hand at night. He cannot do any lifting in the weight room with that hand. Gesser completed 15 of 40 pass attempts for 281 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions in WSU's 33-27 win over Purdue in the Sun Bowl Dec. 31. |
