So did we. When CBS zoomed in on him - and his chest wasn't moving... Well, scary doesn't begin to describe it. I thought it tremendously classy that the Auburn players immediately said a prayer for him. I even have to give CBS credit for reporting their action. But, this brought up a topic of discussion between my husband (NOT a huge college football fan outside the Navy/Army game) and me (a HUGE college fan): What happens if a player expires on the field? Does the game end? Do they continue? What's the protocol for such tragedies?
He had a CONCUSION!!! I thought he might be dead at worst but was also scared he had a broken neck.
Alll reports the next day that I could find reported that it was just a concusion. My daughter reported that the stadium got very quiet. You may have heard the ripple of applause that went through the stadium halfway through that timeout. It was because the stretcher left the field. That was the FIRST sign that he was out of immediate danger. That was real scary.
The daughter, LD, has just come down to leave, catch the band bus and go to Tuscaloosa. The day has arrived. Time is suspended until after Liz Edwards sings.
