Poster Jrburt on Catsillustrated.com shared his account of the event:
"I sit between the upper deck and lower deck. When Dupree scored there was of course pandemonium, I looked away from the end zone and towards the uk sidelines to see their reaction when I saw a body come falling from the upper deck into the stands below us. Panic ensued as people rushed to find emergency personnel.

I assumed it was a student as above us is the student section. He was strapped on a board and they had oxygen on him helping him breath as they left.

The section he fell on is where they have recruits come and sit for the game along with other uk athletes and parents.

I will never forget that awful sight and scene."
The Lexington Herald-Leader reported that the fall was about 35 feet. According to his father, Durham is currently in stable condition at UK's ICU. Thoughts and prayers to Brad and his family; get well soon.
