Cowboys’ win over Iowa
State but stayed in the
game.
Walsh’s dad, John Walsh, the head coach at Denton Guyer
High School, said his son
needs about three to five weeks to recover. John Walsh said
via text that surgery will not be required and that there was no ligament
damage.

rest of the season. Walsh completed 32 of 47 passes for 415 yards and a
