Nick Chubb knocks Gators safety Keanu Neal out of the game

During Nick Chubb’s impressive 39-yard touchdown run, there was certainly more than one victim but Gators safety Keanu Neal to the brunt of the punishment from Georgia’s freshman running back.
Neal is out for the rest of the game with a right leg injury.
About 25 yards downfield, Chubb pulls off a quick juke to the left, faking out both Neal and fellow UF safety Jabari Gorman. In a last ditch effort, Neal reaches out his arm to try and bring down the 5-foot-10, 225-pound back, but he goes to ground quickly.
I know that forcing turnovers is key. But if you try too hard like Keanu Neal just did- instead of just tackling Chubb- it's not gonna work

He was later given crutches on the sideline and transported to the locker room on a cart.
Keanu Neal on crutches. No return today.
