Prayers that he is all right, and that he achieves his NFL potential, as he seems to be pretty sure handed at this point in his career.

The announcing crew were calling for a targeting, but it was about the most innocent looking hit I have ever seen that resulted in an injury. If that was targeting the game would be flag football. The "hit" looked like all arms. They didn't replay it in slow motion but it's hard to see any shoulder contact by the defender. Injured on the landing possibly.

Also interesting that Emory Jones is playing QB for Florida, playing the whole game, when he is in the Portal. Miller, from oh-high-ya, apparently signed via the Portal to Florida a couple of days ago....

SCARY MOMENT

Florida wide receiver Justin Shorter was taken off the field on a cart after a hard hit late in the fourth quarter. His neck was immobilized by medical personnel on the field. Knox had no update postgame.

anytime I see a player taken off like this it is scary. Prayers that he is okay.

As someone with a youngster currently involved in football, I really can't stand to watch this. I know about all the back in my day we used to rip people's heads off and they'd just pick them up and sew them back on tough guy stuff, but it's still hard to watch young men willingly risk their health and well-being to move a ball across a line, knowing it could be your kid next.
