BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) -Ball State receiver Dante Love was strapped to a backboard and carted off the field during the second quarter of Saturday night’s game at Indiana.
Love entered the game as the nation’s leader in yards receiving per game (144.3).
He was hurt with 10:45 left in the first half after catching a 2-yard pass. When Love turned upfield, he was hit by Hoosiers cornerback Chris Adkins. Love fumbled the ball and Nick Polk scooped it up and returned it 31 yards for a touchdown.
Love, a senior, stayed on the ground for several minutes before being rolled onto a backboard. Doctors also removed his face mask. The Cardinals team took a knee on the visiting side of the field while doctors tended to Love, and many of his teammates came over to see him as doctors lifted Love onto the cart.
There was no immediate word on his condition.
