Holy shit just saw that Lattimore injury. 

One of the most gruesome I've ever seen.  When I first saw it in real-time, I thought his lower leg came completely off.

Rarely happens. of course it was only cause the Trojans couldn't stop gifting the ball.

Bitterness is not attractive.

I'm not bitter, Cats put a whupping on Dawgs rightfully so.
Just also know that if USC didn't have 5 turnovers Arizona wouldn't have held on for win.

If Arizona hadn't had two turnovers, it never would have been close?

I never understand comments like this - it's not like turnovers happen as an act of god or something.

Nice win by the 'Cats.  I don't like it because it hurts Oregon's strength of schedule, but I always like to see USC lose.

I guess that is why you are just a ref.

In all seriousness, Huskies need to find a way to schedule all their games at home, beat two top ten teams now in comfy confines and having home cooking. Haven't been looking anything like the team that has looked horrible on road.

That doesn't sound like a very serious suggestion.

Two teams that were vastly over-rated, but well done nonetheless.

I love how Summer's Eve is now using the slogan, "Hail to the V".

Whew.   Bad, but not Bobby Edwards bad.  It will still time to evaluate.

Lattimore hyperextended right knee

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore hyperextended his right knee against Tennessee, causing injury to several ligaments, the school said in a release Sunday.

Coach Steve Spurrier said the injury is something Lattimore can come back from to play football again.

There were no fractures or additional injuries, according to team physician Jeffrey Guy.

Spurrier visited Lattimore on Sunday and said the junior had a good attitude about his condition. Spurrier said Guy was able to put Lattimore's knee back in place soon after he was taken from the field to the hospital.

Spurrier said the injury was significant, but discounted speculation Lattimore never would play football again. Lattimore has not used a redshirt season so he could take as long as necessary to recover and still return to the Gamecocks for the 2014 season.

"We're optimistic his football days are ahead of him," Spurrier said.

Lattimore is resting comfortably and will be evaluated over the week, according to the school.

Spurrier hasn't yet talked with Lattimore, who turns 21 on Monday, about his future. Spurrier said recovery will take some time, perhaps more than one offseason.

"He knows what the road ahead is," said Spurrier, who visited Lattimore Sunday. "We're all hoping and praying he'll be back."

That didn't seem possible to anyone who watched Lattimore fall or saw the slow-motion replays of the second-quarter hit. Lattimore was wrapped up from behind on a 2-yard run when Vols defensive back Eric Gordon came in low. Lattimore's right leg sickeningly flopped over and slammed against the turf.

Trainers immediately surrounded Lattimore. Eventually, players from both sides came out to comfort Lattimore and surrounded him as he was lifted into a cart and taken away by ambulance.

"I saw the look in his eyes when he was on the ground," South Carolina receiver Ace Sanders said. "He was really heartbroken about the injury. We were just trying to keep him strong."

A host of sports figures and other celebrities sent Lattimore support via Twitter, including New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow, Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o, and Hootie and the Blowfish singer and South Carolina alum Darius Rucker.

"Praying for Marcus Lattimore. Hate to see the best RB in college go down. Keep ya head up my man!" Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray said on Twitter.

Spurrier said he's gotten so many messages of support, he believes Lattimore may be the most popular player in South Carolina history.

Gamecocks quarterback Connor Shaw said the team played for Lattimore in the second half. South Carolina (7-2, 5-2 Southeastern Conference) held on for a 38-35 win over Tennessee (3-5, 0-5). The Gamecocks moved up six spots to No. 11 in the latest AP rankings. They don't play again until Nov. 10 against Arkansas.

The Gamecocks had to play without Lattimore the second half of last season, too, after he tore ligaments in his left knee against Mississippi State. South Carolina went 5-1 with its star rusher on the sidelines, an experience Spurrier hopes the team can draw on down the stretch this year.

"We'd rather have Marcus on our team, that's for dang sure," Spurrier said. "In life, sometimes you've got to move on with whatever hand you're dealt."

Senior Kenny Miles now will be South Carolina's starter with freshman Mike Davis serving as backup.

Lattimore is expected to be re-evaluated this week. He's already made it back once through the gut-wrenching rehab process, returning as one of the SEC's top backs this season. He finishes this year with 662 yards and 10 touchdowns. Lattimore scored on a 28-yard run against Tennessee, adding to his school record of 41 career TDs.

Vols receiver Justin Hunter said Tennessee players wanted to show their respect for Lattimore.

"We felt for him. We knew he came off a knee injury and for this to happen to him is bad," Hunter said. "The whole team just wanted to go out and show support."

Whatever decisions Lattimore makes about his future, he's got Spurrier's blessing.

"We'll just go a day at a time and allow the doctors and Marcus and a lot of prayers do their work," Spurrier said.

Oh and Rich Rod turned out to be an even bigger scumbag than I thought.

He's lucky his QB wasn't literally killed on the field.

Jesus H. Testudo.

Maryland has lost its fourth quarterback of the season to injury, leaving the Terps with linebacker Shawn Petty to start at quarterback against Georgia Tech next week.

C.J. Brown was injured in the preseason. Freshman Perry Hills was lost for the season to a torn anterior cruciate ligament and Devin Burns, a redshirt sophomore, endured a serious left foot injury in the 20-18 loss to North Carolina State a week earlier.  Rowe, a freshman, suffered the injury during the Boston College game.

Next up is Petty, who ran a Navy-style option offense in high school, his coach, Tom Green, said. Petty, who warmed up before Saturday's game, is listed at 230 and looks bigger.

Petty will be backed up by tight end Brian McMahon.

lol, a 230+ pound linebacker running the your suddenly-back-to-the-future option offense.   Read option this, fuckers.

He's likely his QB wasn't literally killed on the field.

How likely?

[jimmy olsen]

Already fixed that.
