An Injury That Shouldn't Have Happened

During last nights Houston-Marshall football game Houston wide receiver Patrick Edwards fractured his right shin when he ran full speed into a service cart for the Marshall band(link). Why were those carts so close to the endzone? With players running full force to catch a touchdown that was a disaster waiting to happen. Edwards says that he feel no animosity towards Marshall University but to the Conference USA officiating crew he said "They are supposed to check and see if everything is off the field". The athletics spokesman for Marshall said that their insurance would pay for Edwards' medical bills, which is good because if they didn't they would probably be see a lawsuit for damages.
