Tyler Vitt told Jake Spavital he was fine. The coach knew the quarterback was lying.
During Texas State’s drive early in the fourth quarter of the team’s game at Georgia Southern last Saturday, Vitt dislocated his non-throwing wrist. Redshirt freshman running back Calvin Hill ran for an 11-yard touchdown to end the drive, cutting the Eagles’ lead to 20-14.
Junior cornerback Jarron Morris intercepted a pass on the first play of the next drive, and Vitt fought through the pain to return to the field and threw a 43-yard touchdown pass to junior wide receiver Marcell Barbee. Vitt remained on the field for one more drive, which ended in a turnover on downs, before being pulled from the game.
