One former Kentucky quarterback was beginning to find his stride at another school, until he was stopped by a severe injury.
Prior to this season, Reese Phillips earned the starting quarterback spot for FCS Montana. Successful in his first two starts, he completed more than 71 percent of his passes for 652 yards and 4 touchdowns until the second quarter of Saturday’s game. Then one fateful drop-back left the crowd silent, according to the Missoulian.
Visual of Phillips’ injury had fans and the Grizzly team (and journalists too) holding down their breakfasts. Phillips’ foot wasn’t facing the right way — it was backward.
