Travis Dye sustains season-ending injury in USC’s blowout win over Colorado

LA Times  

USC running back Travis Dye is carted off the field after suffering a leg injury against Colorado in the second quarter of the Trojans’ 55-17 win Friday. It wasn’t until its star defender took center stage, forcing his way into a collapsing pocket and flinging a fumble loose in Friday’s second quarter that USC found the nerve to push back. After a frustrating first quarter, USC’s oft-maligned defense turned in one of its most impressive performances in months, albeit against a team that has scored fewer points than 128 other teams this season. Dye’s injury still loomed over the rest of Friday, even as USC continued to roll along without its running back.
