FSU-USF notes: Tice suffers apparent broken ankle

ANDRES LEIVA | Times

With eight regular season games remaining, the Bulls' tailback depth will be put to the test.

One might argue it passed its first significant one Saturday.

Senior TB Darius Tice's career came to an apparent end late in the third quarter when he suffered what is feared to be a broken right ankle -- according to Coach Willie Taggart -- following an 11-yard reception over the middle. With Marlon Mack also sidelined after being poked in the eye, junior D'Ernest Johnson assumed the rushing load.

He finished with 82 yards and three touchdowns on eight carries.
