In a season full of high moments, Tom Allen experienced one of his lowest on Saturday.

His son, IU linebacker Thomas Allen, had to be carted off the field during the third quarter of No. 10 Indiana’s win at Michigan State — and it doesn’t sound like he’ll be available anytime soon.

“I love him so much, but it could be pretty serious,” Tom Allen said.

Although the Indiana coach declined to specify the nature of the injury during his postgame press conference, Tom Allen was on the verge of tears discussing the situation.

Thomas Allen had a nice start to the afternoon, recording two tackles and forcing a first-half fumble.
