During the third quarter of Saturday’s loss against the Air Force Academy Falcons, the University of Colorado football team stood in silence.
An Air Force run down the west sideline prompted Colorado junior safety Aaron Maddox to dive for the tackle, sending him barreling into a metal cooling fan on the Falcon sideline. The play left Maddox in considerable pain and forced him to leave the field on a cart. Maddox was taken to a nearby hospital and is expected to miss at least four to five weeks with a lower leg laceration.
It was a tough moment for senior cornerback Delrick Abrams Jr.
