"We're ready. I know I'm ready, but I'm not going to take for granted this last month."

University of Florida linebacker Ryan Stamper has seen plenty of football players get concussions during his five-year collegiate career. Nothing in his lengthy Rolodex of personal experience prepared him for what he saw Saturday night in Kentucky.
