Stanford cornerback Aaron Morris was reportedly alert and responsive after being taken off the field in an ambulance after a hit vs. SMU.
With five minutes to go in the first quarter, Morris and linebacker Sam Mattingly converged on SMU receiver Jordan Hudson from opposite sides to make a tackle. Morris made contact before Mattingly and took a blow to the head.

Stanford released a statement saying Morris would return to be with the team before the end of the game. The Lowell, Mass. native has played in four games this year with four tackles and PDU.
