South Florida's Win Overshadowed By LB's Injury

Associated Press MIAMI -- South Florida got two scares Saturday night, and survived both. Mike Ford ran for two short touchdowns and the 12th-ranked Bulls spoiled FIU's debut in its new... on-campus stadium, winning 17-9 in a game marred by a frightening scene involving Bulls starting linebacker Brouce Mompremier. Mompremier was airlifted to a downtown Miami hospital after colliding with a teammate in the third quarter, but apparently escaped catastrophic injury. He was expected to remain hospitalized overnight for tests and observation, but was regaining movement in his arms and legs. South Florida officials said Mompremier -- a Miami native who had family at the stadium for his homecoming -- was experiencing tingling in his neck and shoulders, and doctors at the stadium originally feared he suffered a spinal injury.more>>
