Pittsburgh Vs. UConn: Ray Graham Injured; Panthers Win, 35-20

To say his loss changes Pitt’s offense is an understatement. The good news is he hasn’t been ruled out for the rest of the season yet. From Pitt blog Cardiac Hill:

The other good news for Pitt fans is the Panthers won the game, meaning a hoped-for Graham return could contribute to a BCS game run.

The Pittsburgh Panthers took care of the Connecticut Huskies on Wednesday night, but the story was Ray Graham’s injury, which he sustained in the first quarter. Graham went down on his second carry after his right knee buckled while he tried to make a jump-cut. He was taken back to the locker room on a cart and returned to the sidelines later on crutches with his knee heavily wrapped in ice.

As for the game itself, the Panthers easily dispatched the Huskies, 35-20. Tino Sunseri threw for 419 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for another to lead the way for the Panthers. Zach Brown took over for Graham and rushed for 30 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries.

I give you this, which relates to Notre Dame and plastic surgery.

As I said, must see TV. At least he was talking about tucky, errrr, tummy tuck and not liposuction or other ... enhancements.

The Pitt running back was helped to the sideline, unable to put weight on his right knee. After a short time on the training table, a cart was summoned to take him back to the locker room. Before he left, his family joined him on the sidelines and Graham appeared to be inconsolable.

Graham is the Panthers’ leading rusher this season, compiling 939 yards and nine touchdowns on 162 carries.
