Houston @ Marshall

Did anybody see that injury that just happened? A Houston WR ran right into a cart outside the back of the end zone

Why in world were the band carts there? That is just disgusting.

I sure hope that not too much is broken. I started typing that he'd be ok, but you know there's honestly no chance he'll be on the field anytime soon.

Explain to me again what's the purpose of mid-week football games?

I really don't see the problem with it. A game for every day of the week would be fine with me.

Is there a video of what happend? I must have turned the TV off to early again.

I found one on espn

In the video it says he would be ok but he ended up with a broken leg?

I watched the game but I didn't know it was that bad.He was going for the catch and never even looked to see where he was at when he hit the cart.They showed a shot of his leg and it was bleeding.They did move the carts after the incident.

 

[crusse10]

After some investigation, it appears to have been a compound fracture.

That is just not fun to watch.

They showed the replay in slow motion. You could see when his leg hit the cart that it snapped. Very tough to warch.

I saw a similar thing happen at a high school game a few weeks ago. The band had a cart near the pylon in the front corner of the end zone. The LB ran full speed from across the field and dove trying to stop the TB from scoring and rolled up under the cart and hurt his back. He had to be taken from the game on a stretcher, but luckily he turned out ok.
