Nagy learns crash course in safety (Badger Beat)

There are conflicting emotions tugging at Bill Nagy as he deals with the physical and mental scars left from a moped accident that occurred more than a month ago.

Part of Nagy, a junior right guard for the University of Wisconsin football team who has been sidelined throughout the first two weeks of preseason camp because of injuries he suffered in the crash, feels unlucky that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The other part of Nagy feels fortunate his injuries werenâ??t more severe. Heâ??s out indefinitely with strained ligaments in the heel of his right foot and is wearing a cast to protect his injured right wrist, but those injuries will heal in time and Nagy eventually will begin his pursuit for a starting spot he so cherishes.

â??Iâ??m just lucky I didnâ??t hit my head,â? Nagy said.
