  • I hope no one else is watching this bowl game on ESPN. DeAndre Brown, Southern Miss's phenom 6'6" freshman receiver, suffered one of the ugliest injuries I've ever seen - what appeared to be a severely broken leg.

    It's rough to see that happen to a young guy with such a bright future. Hopefully, the injury isn't career-ending (though I must say that it looked like one...).

    Anyway, I recommend checking out the rest of the game. Troy's junior DE Brandon Lang could be a top-flight 3-4 OLB prospect, either this year or next. He's #91 and lines up at LE (opposite the right tackle).

    He hasn't done much as a pass rusher in this game, but he's shown great athleticism dropping back into coverage.

  • I saw that...it did look ugly. Hope he's okay. It's a pretty good game though.

  • agreed that the break was rough. the kid's a tremendous physical specimen, though, and young, so he should bounce back. definitely someone to watch in the future.

    and you're right about lang being a natural in coverage. he's dropped from a three-point stance, bumped a TE and then covered him down the field. kid's great in coverage.

  • Yeah, I hope he's able to recover. FWIW, the announcers reported that it was "a lower leg fracture."

    Lang does look good, but I'd like to see him do more as a rusher. Southern Miss's QB is getting rid of the ball fairly quickly, though.

  • Troy has to win. We have 25 pts on them in Bowl Mania...

  • Lang finally got a sack...in OT (on ESPN right now).

  • Damn. I'm getting killed in Bowl Mania.

    A great game, though.

  • it was a garbage sack, though. the QB stepped up to avoid pressure and ran into lang, who was on the turf after being flattened when he tried a spin move, a move that he'd tried before and looked quite ineffective doing.

    he looked good in coverage but terrible rushing the passer. he picked a bad time to get handled all game.

  • I'm getting my ass handed to me in bowl mania, too. Freakin' upsets everywhere.
