Cause for concern? Tommy Stevens, Kylin Hill both leave Southern Miss game due to injuries
Mississippi State is in complete control of Southern Miss heading into halftime up 21-0 against the Eagles but the first half lead may have come with a price as the Bulldog offense was hit with some significant blows.
In the second quarter, both quarterback Tommy Stevens and running back Kylin Hill left the game due to injuries and have not yet returned. Both players were having solid games, too. Stevens was nine of 10 passing for 105 yards and two touchdowns while Hill had 57 rushing yards on six carries.
Stevens was taken back to the locker room before halftime and did not return. He walked to the locker room on his own, without assistance and is questionable to return to the field, according to Mississippi State.
Hill, on the hand, had to be helped off the field after getting rolled up on after a run. His status is unclear for the second half. Entering the game, Hill was the SEC’s leading rusher after racking up 197 yards in the opener against Louisiana.
UPDATE: Stevens has been ruled out for the second half; Hill was questionable to return but has returned to the field in the third quarter.
We’re cursed, apparently.
I’m hoping it’s largely precautionary. And, I’m glad Keytaon will be active next week. We need the defense to bring this one home today.
Only thing this defense brings is missed tackles.
Quit being chicken little on every article
Lol dude, what? I’ve been a bit of a downer about the defense but I’m hyped about the offense. If you think I’ve seen saying the sky is falling, you haven’t really been paying too much attention to what I’m saying.
What are you the blog police dawg44? Enough of that and Coozie is right, our defense might be the worst tackling team in the SEC right now even though we’re 2-0 against a couple of cupcakes.
