University
of South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore suffered one of the worst
sports injuries that I have ever seen earlier today. You have to feel for this
guy, he is regarded as one of the top backs in the country, and had a bright
future ahead of him. This injury is definitely career threatening and what
makes it even worse is that Lattimore missed most of last season with a torn
ACL.
If
you want to get a feel for how good of a guy and how important Lattimore is,
here are a few quotes from around the internet:
"I just tried to tell him to stay mentally
strong," said receiver Ace Sanders, whose
eyes teared up when discussing Lattimore. "I saw the look in in his eyes
when he was on the ground and he was really heartbroken."
"Obviously, Marcus has got a severe knee injury, but
we'll let the doctors tell you exactly what all it is later on," head
coach Steve Spurrier said. "He's such a good, young man. Good things are
going to happen for Marcus. I don't know exactly where and how."
"As a person, there is none better that I've ever
met," the coach said.
The only injury I could think of that was that bad was Willis
McGahee when he was in college at the University of Miami (FL) in the National
Championship against Ohio State in 2002.
