Miller’s injury was as bad as it looked ...
Saturday night in the loss to Kansas State, Colorado receiver Omarion Miller suffered a lower leg injury that will sideline him the rest of the season. This could not have come at a worse time for Miller, as he was just beginning to establish himself as a real threat for the Buffaloes.
Last Saturday night Miller had 145 yards, and looked to be on pace for even more until a hip-drop tackle rolled up his leg and ended his season. These tackles are known to be dangerous, and were banned this year by in the NFL in an attempt to prevent the lower body injuries that can happen on these tackles. Will leagues ever prevent hip-drop tackles fully? Probably not, and it’s hard to say if they should be, but after Saturday night I'm sure we’ll know Miller’s position on the matter.
The Buffaloes will be okay moving forward considering Miller was the fifth string receiver, but you really feel for this kid. He’s only a sophomore this season so we may seem him back as a Buffalo next year, and if we do I guarantee he’ll be starting. If not, and Miller elects to enter the portal, I’m sure their will be plenty of suitors for him. Regardless of where he plays Miller still has a bright future ahead of him as a collegiate athlete.
