ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -Miami running back Graig Cooper has injured his right knee in the Champs Sports Bowl against Wisconsin.
Cooper took a second-quarter kickoff 27 yards before he lost his footing and tumbled to the ground. He clutched his right knee on the ground and was examined by trainers for about 5 minutes.
Cooper was barely able to stand as he was helped off the field by teammates Javarris James and Damien Berry.
Earlier on Tuesday night, Cooper took a reverse from Sam Shields on the opening kickoff and returned it for a touchdown before an illegal block in the back pushed the ball back to the Wisconsin 16-yard line. Cooper was credited with an 84-yard return, a Hurricanes bowl record. He had a 16-yard touchdown run on the next play.
