SC's Marcus Lattimore Horribly Injured

That is pretty hard to watch. You could tell he was in pain, but it looked like the real pain hadn't set in yet and he was just in shock.

Hope he can make a recovery.

Oh yeah, I'm sure. I've never read into it but I'd be surprised if the human body doesn't have a defense mechanism that keeps the brain from registering that much pain immediately.

It does, thankfully. That was without a doubt the worst thing I've ever seen while watching a football game. My wife is a SC fan and I've gotten attached to the guy even while rooting against them every game.

I hope he heals, definitely out for the season but hopefully not a career ending injury, players have overcome impossible injuries before. I also remember reading somewhere that he's an honor student, I'm not sure what he's studying but he's no dumb football player that's going to go work at the Safeway if he doesn't get into the NFL.

Yeh you could tell he was in shock.

I've seen some gruesome stuff at work but that kinda turned my stomach.
