La. Tech Western Kentucky tonight

[Harry]

Fox Sports One - WKU up 7-0 5:10 left in 1st quarter.  Both these teams are good fellas...

Leon Allen just scored a TD - WKU up 14-0.  Allen is a hoss!  Looks like an NFL caliber player.

WKU will be ranked by the time they come to town.

[James329]

21-3 WKU early in the 2nd quarter. Could be 28-3 if WKU hadn't fumbled at the goal line. 

[James329]

Just like that, it's 24-17 WKU. Dixon has been good for La. Tech and Driskell has been solid as well. 

[GreenTexan13]

WKU is looking real good this year. I am glad that we are playing them at home. Let's use our home field advantage!

[Travis]

It seems we would want WKU to win this one. So far la tech down by 10 early in the third. 

[James329]

Everyone knows about Doughty, but the WKU RB and special teams have looked even more dangerous in this game. 

[Ben Gooding]

That big RB for WKU, Leion Allen, I think just broke his leg or at minimum tore a lot of ligaments in his knee. 

[Cerebus]

I just saw one of the worst leg injuries I have seen in a long time.  I hope they have an MD on site, it reminded me of  when that Troy WR almost lost his leg at Fouts.

 

Ugh.

That big RB for WKU, Leion Allen, I think just broke his leg or at minimum tore a lot of ligaments in his knee. 

It was awful, I hope they have someone on staff who knows how to properly check for circulation.

[Ben Gooding]

Not a break, he hobbled off the field. It's a guranteed tear of something. If not, he's superman bc that looked horrible. 

[James329]

Just as I send that Doughty throws one a little high and puts the RB Allen in a bad spot and he takes an ugly hit. His knee bent the wrong way and he didn't put any weight on it leaving the field. Didn't look good.

That was an ugly injury. I hate to see a guy go down that way.

[Cerebus]

Not a break, he hobbled off the field. It's a guranteed tear of something. If not, he's superman bc that looked horrible. 

Troy WR also broke no bones, he just tore all the major ligaments and some major blood vessels.  If  UNT doctor didn't notice the lack of pulse he could have easily lost the leg within hours.  Instead he got rushed to surgery. 

[Aldo]

Poor kid. Only worse knee injury I've seen was Marcus Lattimore's. 

[GMG24]

I'm terrified of them both. Yikes

[Green Lantern]

I'm terrified of them both. Yikes

Better hope we're significantly improved from last year. Agree that we're gonna have our hands full with both these teams.

[JesseMartin]

WKU is looking real good this year. I am glad that we are playing them at home. Let's use our home field advantage!

If we aren't vastly improved, that 5.9 points won't do a lot of good.  So we'd better have improved.

[DeepGreen]

What's the story on Doughty? Is he a transfer?  The guy is really, really good.

And that WKU stadium press box side looks small and crappy.

[James329]

There's a lot of skill in this game, but these two teams have beat the heck out of each other. Not a lot of size, but they're quick, tenacious and can just flat out hit.

[James329]

WKU 41

La Tech 38

Final 

 

[NorthTexan95]

Excellent!  La Tech loses and we're one step closer to the conference title.  The plan is off to a good start.

In other news, WKU has the worst punter I've seen at this level.  

[Mean Green 93-98]

What's the story on Doughty? Is he a transfer?  The guy is really, really good.

And that WKU stadium press box side looks small and crappy.

Doughty?  Nah, he's been there forever . . . a 6th year senior.  This is at least his 3rd year starting.  He beat out Demarcus Smith back when he was a freshman at WKU.

[BillySee58]

Poor kid. Only worse knee injury I've seen was Marcus Lattimore's. 

Willis Mcgahee, Munchie Legaux, Napolean Mccallum, Shaun Livingston all were right up there but damn. That still might be number 1 for me. Really hope Allen will be okay.

I know head injuries are the hot topic in football, and they are usually more serious long-term, but man leg injuries have always been my worst nightmare in football. Hate how much it happens (comparatively), but it's kind of the nature of the game with tackling.
