But the Red Raiders defense could be in trouble, as linebacker Tyree Wilson went down early in the third quarter with an apparent ankle injury and had to be helped off the field.
Wilson was running from the left end position and trying to work his way around a Kansas right tackle when he fell to the ground in obvious pain. Replays didn’t indicate whether he stepped on the opposing player’s foot, but he was favoring his right ankle or foot.
After he was helped to the sideline, the trainers removed his shoe and he tried to get out of the injury, but couldn’t. Just a few plays later, he was seen being led into the locker room on the back of a cart shaking his head.
Wilson returned to the bench still in his uniform but with the help of crutches just before the fourth quarter began.
His return seems unlikely, although an official status has not been announced. Wilson was having a spectacular game putting constant pressure on Kansas quarterback Jason Bean on Saturday. He has 59 tackles and seven sacks this season, adding a forced fumble and fumble recovery.
Wilson is projected to be a first-round pick in next year’s NFL Draft.
RedRaiderReview.com will update the situation as more details become available.
