Miami Hurricanes WR Herb Waters Carted Off Field After Scary Hit

The Miami Hurricanes and Virginia Cavaliers played a football game on Saturday that became secondary after wide receiver Herb Waters took a scary helmet-to-helmet hit. 

Sometimes a football isn’t the most important thing that happens on a Saturday afternoon in the fall. That was the case for the Miami Hurricanes and the Virginia Cavaliers on Saturday night when wide receiver Herb Waters took a nasty helmet-to-helmet hit that saw him carted off the field after getting knocked out cold.

The hit was beyond terrifying as the way Waters was hit and went down shook just about everyone that watched it happen. The Virginia sideline was visibly shaken by the hit and Waters’ teammates were even more concerned.

The hit was so bad that Waters had to be taken to the University of Virginia medical center but he was responsive at the very least.

Hits like this happen all the time in football, but the nature of this one seemed to be a little dirty. In addition to that, all it takes is a matter of inches for a normal hit to turn into a devastating one which is the case with this hit on Waters tonight.
