Aaron Murray Broke his Leg Last Night

Aaron Murray was having a big night until disaster struck. According to the AJC, he had thrown for 205 yards with three touchdowns and rushed for 95 yards and 1 TD in the first half. Just before the half, a defender hit him and rolled his ankle.

The AJC says its a broken leg. UGASports.com says it's a broken fibula and dislocated ankle. The Tampa Tribune says it was a dislocated ankle and a broke tibula. In other words, we'll specifically know what happened probably tonight or tomorrow morning. Regardless, he's out for the season.

I'm not a doctor, and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. However, if you're going to have a season ending injury as a QB, it's probably better that it's a broken lower leg than an injured knee, shoulder or back.

If you subscribe to UGASports.com, watch the video of Orson Charles talking about Murray after the game. Charles is Murray's all-world tight end / teammate, and it's an impressive interview.
