Thats really sucks.

Hopes and Prayers goes out for him and his family.

As what i guess happened while he was bench-pressing and had a spotter when the bar slipped out of his right hand and hit him in the throat.

I can think of another USC RB that thinks Stafon is an amatuer and would show him the proper way to cut a throat.

Seriously though, what a freak accident. How did it not bounce off his chest?

Thats what most people are asking, normally it hits the chest if it slips. I guess from what i have read, he was done with one of his sets and his right hand lost control of the bar and it fell and hit him in the throat. So it wasn't trying to put the bar back on the rack or anything. Carroll said that after the surgery he couldnt talk, but he looked "ok".

We still don't know how much weight he was even lifting, but they said he rolled off the bench and started coughing up blood.

275lbs.

Ouch.

Yea, he is out for the season. Too bad, its his senior season. Good thing he is expected to make a full recovery.

Man, it's just amazing how fast life happens sometimes. Scary how quick these freak accidents can change your whole world.

Feel better, bud. Football will be there next year.
