Notre Dame QB Dayne Crist suffers season ending injury against Tulsa
Notre Dame was hit with another setback this season as word came out that QB Dayne Crist is out for the remainder of the season after suffering a ruptured patella tendon in his left knee. The gunslinger was injured in the first quarter of today’s game against Tulsa after scrambling for 29 yards on a broken play. Crist was knocked hard out of bounds by LB Tanner Antle and was clearly shaken by the helmet-to-helmet collision. Crist quickly grabbed his left knee as he was being helped up by his teammates. Crist was eventually taken to the locker room and finally returned to the field after the half in crutches.
Crist is no stranger to injury as in 2009 he had surgery to repair torn ligaments in his right knee. This is a tough loss for Notre Dame as Brian Kelly is trying to bring back the Irish to its glory days. However, true freshman QB Tommy Rees is showing great discipline and poise in the pocket with an array of pass and run plays.
