TN vs USC jr. Not good!
If nobody else saw this game or heard about The gamecocks running back Lattimore! A horrible injury that will more than likely end this young mans carrier. Warning weak stomach people!

It's a shame, from all reports this kid was a stand up kid and deserved all the money that was going to be heading his way next year. Hopefully he can recover and return. If not to play football at least to walk without a limp.

I may be in the minority, but I am all for an across the board rule that would prohibit all engagements below the thigh. We are seeing too many knee injuries, catastrophic ones at that. These injuries will have an impact on these players for life. Let's try to improve player safety by decreasing lower leg engagements just as we are working to reduce engagements above the shoulder.

Just to play devil's advocate, but where exactly are defensive players supposed to hit people if you make a rule like this? I'm all for safety and agree with the helmet to helmet rule, but football is and always will be a very violent sport. Not sure how you could make a rule like this without drastically changing the nature of the game, and not for the better.

Not hard, anything above the knee and below the shoulders is fair game. That's a lot of area to operate within.

News reports that it is a dislocated knee. Not sure what kinda recovery you get from that. Never want to see these guys get hurt.

Not sure how you stop guys from getting hurt, but this is football and unfortunately it is a result of the sport. It happens in every sport.

I was watching this (and the repeated replays). If you are seeing what I did the first D guy was wrapping him up at the waist. The second one came in at his left leg. The injury is to the right leg.

The second D guy fell onto the right leg at a horrible angle. The inital hit appears to be a below the knee hit by the D player.


Anywho, that's what I see/saw.

Problem is a lot of guys on the line get their knees taken out by guys falling/being blocked into them from behind. You will never take these injuries out of the game. I've seen guys buckle a knee while making a cut, with no one ever touching them.

The practice of orthopaedics as it pertains to surgery and rehab after catastrophic knee injuries has gotten so much better in recent years. 5-10 years ago, his career would've been over. Now, I bet he comes back from it. If he's smart, he'll convince Spurrier to REDSHIRT him for 2013, play in 2014 then take a shot at the NFL in 2015. As rough as his injury was yesterday, I don't think it was as bad as Tyrone Prothro's or Theisman's.

What if a running back lowers his shoulder?
