Play comes to a halt for about 20 minutes during the Louisville-Rutgers football game Friday when Louisville cornerback Anthony Conner is injured, his helmet hitting the knee of Rutgers receiver Mohamed Sanu on the first play of the second quarter. The Rutgers players, at top, gather, kneeling on the field in a sign of respect and concern for the fallen U of L player. They remember well the experience of Eric LeGrand, a Rutgers player who was paralyzed last season. Connor is reported to have suffered a broken neck but isn’t paralyzed. Click on photo to ENLARGE.
