He was the player that suffered a spinal injury in yesterday's game, and I believe he is having surgery today in Athens.

Amen. Will be praying for the young man. May God bless him and may he have a speedy recovery.

I read that his family flew into Athens for his surgery.

Read his family flew in last night. Hope this young man can recover fully .

He was moving a pretty good bit right after the play. Hopefully it's mostly swelling. A little prednisone and he'll be alright.
Prayers sent.

Prayers sent. I knew there was a problem when I saw one of our trainers pinning his helmet to the ground with his hands.

Love football but hate to see serious injuries occur.

God Bless him. Fingers crossed that the surgery goes well and he recovers fully.

I will keep him in my prayers... Keeping him in our "thoughts" won't do any good

Looks like the latest is movement in both hands only.

Yep... Such a great game, but unfortunately things like this are inevitable. Prayers to the kid, hopefully he fully recovers.

While I don't disagree with the premise, he hurt his spine due to bad technique while trying to block the kicker. Considering I have seen this same crap technique across all levels of football, it is really just an inevitability of circumstances. I don't know how to make sure the players stop this "head down" mentality of tackling, and I am loathe to entrust any responsibility to SEc officials, but maybe having the SEC office review every game and retroactively suspending players they see trying to block /tackle in this fashion for a half of the next game or fining the schools for each incidence- at least that way, the coaches would have an incentive to keep players that keep doing it off the field until they figure out the better way to tackle.

This is a common misconception. Players don't get hurt anymore or any less when fbs schools play FCS schools. That injury could of happened at any level of play. I.e. Eric LaGrange

I hope he recovers........A quick recovery
