Clemson RB Injured in Cal Game
26 Sep
Summary
- Running back David Eziomume suffered a leg injury on a kickoff return.
- Starting left guard Elyjah Thurmon also sustained an injury during the game.
- Both players were injured during the first quarter against California.
Clemson's football team experienced significant setbacks during their matchup against California on September 25th, as two key players suffered injuries. Running back David Eziomume was carted off the field with an apparent leg injury during a kickoff return play early in the first quarter.
The incident occurred with 5:08 remaining in the first quarter, when Clemson was trailing California 7-0. Eziomume, a junior, has had limited carries this season but scored a touchdown in Week 1. His leg was placed in an air cast before he was taken to the locker room, with teammates showing support.
Adding to the team's concerns, starting left guard Elyjah Thurmon also left the game with an injury shortly after Eziomume's incident. Sophomore backup Gavin Blanchard replaced Thurmon, who had not returned to the game as of the report. These injuries significantly impact Clemson's offensive line and running back depth.
