Murfreesboro, Tenn. – It was a cool Friday night in Murfreesboro. Middle Tennessee's biggest rival, WKU, was in town looking to slow down a Blue Raider team that had won four of its previous five games.
Midway through the third quarter, Cordell Hudson and the MTSU defense returned to the field with a 23-3 lead. That's when the unthinkable happened.
Hudson's knee got rolled up under a WKU player when he was making a tackle, and his entire body went the opposite way that his right leg faced, sending him instantly to the ground.
