VIDEO: Kentucky QB Terry Wilson Carted off Field After Horse-Collar Tackle by EMU Defender
By Mark Powell
Kentucky notched their second win of the season on Saturday night against Eastern Michigan, but it might have come at a cost. Quarterback Terry Wilson, who was expected to make major strides in the passing game for Mark Stoops and Co., was taken down by an illegal horse-collar tackle. Wilson had to be carted off the field after the hit.

This is borderline dirty by Eastern Michigan, as the tackle is not only illegal but puts Wilson in a precarious position of trying to brace his fall from behind.

We're wishing Wilson the best, and hope his legs weren't caught under him in an awkward angle. If he's out long-term, the 'Cats could be in trouble.
