Great running back and by all accounts great kid. And a good student to boot. Without knowing what the injury is it does seem good it wasn't the same knee and the kid does know what it takes to come back from this type injury.
I think it also helps he seems to have strong family support particularly from his Mom. Prayers go out to him for a full and complete recovery.

It sucks that he got injured, hope it heals up with no setbacks and he comes back 100%, but ffs he didn't die.

Hell of a back!

Prayers for that young man. That looked bad. Hope he can recover and get his career back on track.

I feel so bad for him, he was over worked. Even though he chose USC over Auburn, I never stopped being a fan. Just seems like a great young man and was the most complete back I have seen in my young life. Thank you Marcus

Worthless against LSU but no doubt the beast from the east

Life isn't fair when people like ML get hurt multiple times despite doing everything right and being class acts and then you have guys like JJ & TM7 screwing up multiple times. I don't wish for any player to be hurt, but why does it always seem to happen to the ones with good character. Best wishes to a fine young man.

Get better, Latt. I will be rooting for you to return to full speed real soon.

Didn't get to see the injury in real time but watched the YouTube video. Prayers going out for him an his recovery. I hate to see that happen to any player. I hope he has a good recovery and will still have a shot at the NFL. If not then I hope that he does succeed in whatever path he goes.

I prayed a good prayer to God on his behalf. Such a classy kid, team player, and has faced so much already, he deserves better than this. I pray God has his cross to bear measured to the man.

I'm with you, DrTyger. Even as a rival fan - such things don't matter today, not with a young man's health, professional future and livelihood in the balance - to see this kind of injury to such an incredible athletic talent was and is heartbreaking. I hope and pray (not necessarily in that order) that he is able to work his way back to a full recovery, both from the physical and mental aspects of an injury like this.
We tend to get a bit carried away as fans, especially when things don't always go the way we want them to on game days, but let today serve as a reminder of just what these young men risk when they choose to play this game. On signing day every one of them is choosing to take the risk that they, too, could have a moment in time on the FB field like Marcus Lattimore did. A day like today, perhaps.
The fact that they choose to play this game for an education, the promise of an NFL future for a select few and the fans enjoyment and entertainment shouldn't lessen our understanding and appreciation for the risk they are taking to do so. In the end, it's "just a game" ... except like today was for Marcus Lattimore when it literally becomes life changing and possibly career ending.
May God bless and comfort ML and his family.

feel so bad for him:(

Such a brutal hit. It makes me sick to my stomach that this happened to ML again. Lattimore is as classy and upstanding as they come.
I feel so bad for him to have to go through this type of injury again. Praying he has a speedy recovery and that he can continue his dream to play in the NFL.

He is a great running back. I hate to see a player go down like that.
Godspeed to him and his family.

Watched him from afar when we were in the other conference. I think he is the best back currently playing CFB. Hope he can come back and be a superstar in the NFL.
I'm most impressed with his off field stewardship by reaching out to other players who have had the same (first) injury. The man is pure class.
