[DrZaius]

Can not believe on the best game of the night that this had to happen......


BIG props to TT for going to their knees to pray. Gives me a new respect for them and their program.

[Flagstaffsooner]

Way ahead of you. May the Lord be with him.

[DrZaius]

SPEK for everyone on this thread

[UTsucks]

What happened?

[DrZaius]

Helmet to Helmet....

No movement after my intial report

[tommie15]

You know this happened to an ISU player in the ISU-NU game and within 30 minutes he was fine. Hopefully, MJ will recover just as quickly.

[DrZaius]

I hope your right TOMMIE15

[Jerk]

Done.

[bigdsooner]

in and done

[Billy'sOUfan]

My prayers are with him. He had some movement in limbs afterward. Hopefully just some kind of stinger. After game, Stoops sounded like he had heard that all was ok. Continue to pray for him.

[SoonerTerry]

Prayers for you MJ

[cowrazer1]

Prayers up. Hope he's fine by morning.

[soonercody]

Stoops sounded optimistic. "X-rays are negative and everything's coming back to him."

[Rogue]

Best wishes for Manuel and his family. Hope he's OK.

[sooner KB]

Can anyone tell me what happened? I just got back from the game and heard nothing but silence.

[Frozen Sooner]

Helmet to helmet collision. Looked like it knocked him out and he lost control of his arms and legs for a minute.

Stoops said on the postgame that he's moving his arms and legs and is getting feeling back. X-rays are negative.

[GrapevineSooner]

Get well soon, Manuel.

And God be with his family and other loved ones during this time.

[Ground_Attack]

we have Manuel in our prayers.

[soonerlaw]

What a tough, courageous kid. Here's to a speedy recovery.

[DrZaius]

I am really worried now.....Just finished watching game day final and they do not have an update on MJ's injury.......this does not sound good.

Anyone there in OK getting anything from the local news?

He's OK. He's being held overnight at the hospital as a precautionary measure.

at least coach said he was looking good

[DrZaius]

I am in Atlanta.....ESPN is my only source for update via press.

Thanks for the update

[WASOONERFAN]

Our thoughts and prayers are with him. He had a great game tonight as well. Awsome block on the Brown TD.

[Bccajun]

News does look good.

Tech's Chris Parker and Johnson appeared to hit helmets on the play, and Johnson had to be carted off the field and taken to a waiting ambulance.

Stoops said Johnson was responsive in the ambulance but would remain hospitalized overnight.

[mrowl]

right before the O and bob walked back to OUr sideline, the pride started cheering, does anyone know what happened? Seems like Bob said something.

[1991SOONER]

100 prayers on the way..

[oumartin]

They cheered Cuz Johnson had his hand raised. Thought it was weird they immobilized him almost on his side.

[ou_mojo]

Anyone has update from this morning?

In for prayers and TT left a print in my book.

[Frozen Sooner]

Nothing from this morning, but Bob said in the postgame interview that he just had his bell rung.

[blackbeauty02]

wow. i was wondering what happened whne i was at the game. i hope that kid is okay. i like him. always came to me as a good person. add one more prayer from me

[swardboy]

They cheered Cuz Johnson had his hand raised. Thought it was weird they immobilized him almost on his side.

I've never seen anyone strapped down like that either. My impression was his hand was paralyzed in that position....seems like it was in that position when he went down on the sideline from one camera angle. Hope it is a very temporary situation, but I wish some official word would enlighten us.

[leavingthezoo]

They cheered Cuz Johnson had his hand raised. Thought it was weird they immobilized him almost on his side.

that's the way they got to him when he went down. i guess they didn't want to change his position for fear of evoking greater injury...

[StoopTroup]

I'd imagine that is correct....

I'm sure if their are any EMT's or Sports Medicine Docs around they would confirm what occurred...

[Boomer.....]

Done.

[Tailwind]

Hope he's ok.

[sooner1129]

total respect for the TT players, on their knees praying for him. classy

where did this happen at? I was sitting in the north endzone and from my perspective I did not see this happen. All we saw were their players standing around the emt's and watching everything happen. We saw one tech player go down on a knee. BUt.. maybe this happened on the other side of the mass huddle, but from our side we didnt see it. I however did see on the news yesterday highlights from the game,they showed the clip of johnson down, followed by a clip of the tech team huddled in prayer, but...im pretty sure that clip of them huddled in prayer came from the end of pre-game warmups because I distinctly remember something happening in the background of the prayer that happened in pre-game warmups bc tech did their prayer in the north endzone right by where we sat. Any other input on this? did anyone at the game see the prayer huddle?

[Fraggle145]

Hope he gets better, please keep us updated

I was at the game sitting in the north endzone and I a majority of Tech team praying in a big huddle. I leaned over to my wife and told her that was one of the classiest things I've seen. I have a new found respect for Tech now.

From our vantage point I never could see MJ. I was wondering what happened to make The Pride cheer like they did. I thought he may have given a "thumbs up" or something but couldn't see it from where I was sitting.

[TheHumanAlphabet]

People, he wasn't waving at the crowd. He was paralyzed at the time. If you watch replay, his hand was not moving and his digits were not moving. His body was rigid. The Mrs and I said a prayer at that time, it didn't look good. Glad to hear things are better.

[ou_mojo]

Yo, does anyone has update on this kid? Everyone is saying that he is ok from what stoops said after the game, but is he coming back against Baylor? Anyone know?the fact?

[Frozen Sooner]

There's no way he plays against Baylor. At the very least he had a pretty severe concussion.

[achiro]

OKC channel 4 just said that he would not play on Sat. against Baylor. Not much more info.
