Wow terrible. Didn't he win the groza last year?

 

[Crusty]

What terrible news. Condolences to him and his family. Very very sad.

I had this premonition that he was going to be one of those opposing kickers who come in the dome and consistently nails 50+ yd FGs, while our kicker struggled to hit 30 yarders.
Yea, it must be tough having your family so far away.

So sad...hope he will recover from this and do great the rest of the season.

Wow, tragic. Hope he makes it back for the game. Godspeed.

I saw this the first or second week of the season. It was heartbreaking to hear that kid's story. I am a father and It brought tears to my eyes. Prayers out to the Tulane kicker and his family.
