Miami, FL (Sports Network) - South Florida linebacker Brouce Mompremier was taken off the field by an ambulance during the 12th-ranked Bulls' 17-9 victory over Florida International on Saturday.
With 6:43 left in the third quarter, Mompremier collided with teammate Carlton Williams while trying to make a tackle. Williams was down on the ground before limping off the field with what appeared to be a left leg injury, however, Mompremier remained motionless on the turf.
The senior was placed on a backboard and gently moved into an ambulance to be taken to a nearby hospital for further evaluation. The injury appeared to be to the spinal cord.
As the Miami native was driven off the field, players from both teams met at midfield for a prayer.
