Guest Aloysius Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 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.

JC Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I saw that...it did look ugly. Hope he's okay. It's a pretty good game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JewDago Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 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.

Guest Aloysius Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Aloysius Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Lang finally got a sack...in OT (on ESPN right now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aloysius Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Damn. I'm getting killed in Bowl Mania. A great game, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JewDago Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 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.

JC Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I'm getting my ass handed to me in bowl mania, too. Freakin' upsets everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
