Looks Like UCF's Milton is Out for Season

[Black Dahlia]

As bad as a leg injury as I've seen:

UCF QB McKenzie Milton carted off field after suffering serious leg injury against South Florida

Could be career ending tbh.

Really hope it’s not a full blowout like Marcus Lattimore had.

It looked dislocated. The extent isn’t known yet, but I was heartened to learn that Tampa has some of the best orthopedic surgeons in the state. I hope and pray (literally) he can recover fully.

I saw him at my barber shop last fall - a game or two into the season. I had no idea who he was until, after he left, the guy who cut his hair said, “That was McKenzie Milton, UCF’s QB.” I would never have guessed his to be a football player, never mind a star. He reminds me of Doug Flutie. Undersized, but an incredible athlete and leader.

The play seemed routine. It reminds just how dangerous the game is.

Holy moly, the leg below the knee bent at a 30.

 

[MidwestChomp]

That is just horrible to watch. Feel bad for him as he was a fun player to watch. Hope he recovers.

 

[ThreatMatrix]

Feel terrible for the guy, hope he has a quick and successful recovery. The silver lining though is that they have a month to incorporate the QB into the flow of the offense. They’ll again face a team from the power 5 who couldn’t care less about their bowl game, so I expect the UCF win streak to continue. Plus, Milton has the entire off season to recover

They play in their conference championship next week against Memphis who they barely beat 31-30 earlier in the season.

Long-time NFL doctor weighs in on gruesome injury to UCF QB McKenzie Milton

 

[Jbossgator8]

so the doctors all say his career is over which means he will come back with a vengence and be given or declared the Heisman winner this season and next and National Champs this year and next automatically.

He done, they gave him the Tyrone prothro treatment.

 

[T REX]

Horrific injury. Hope he heals well and we see him again playing football. Awful to see. Wish him the best.

 

[Durty South Swamp]

Slim to no chance. 90% that's the end of his sports playing days.

 

[ThreatMatrix]

F’ UCF. Welcome to the real world.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

So much for the Central Golden Showers.

 

[EyeDocGator]

I feel bad for the kid. He is probably better off never trying to play football again. I just hope he can at least walk and run without a limp. If we end up playing UCF in the bowl game we need to emulsify them. In any event, UCF's national title prominence is almost certainly at an end. Right now we own the state. We need to figure out how to own the SEC.

 

[T REX]

UCF's Milton has blood flow restored to leg

Wow.

 

[Captain Sasquatch]

It'll take a medical miracle to get this kid back on the football field. Just awful.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

I feel bad for the kid. He is probably better off never trying to play football again.

At this point we are hoping he walks again, I think.

Reminiscent of what happened to former NBAer Jay Williams from a motorcycle accident. It ended his athletic career.

The Bulls out of mercy gave Williams $3 million to rehab and get on with his life. Years later he admitted he used the money to fund an addiction to painkillers.
