Miami Hurricanes tight end Elijah Lofton took a huge hit after a reception in the second quarter of the Fiesta Bowl against Ole Miss, and was more than just shaken up on the play.
A few minutes later, Lofton was seen getting carted off the field and to the locker room, though he was sitting up and conscious.
