Had one of the G-W player parents send me a PM over at championshipsubdivision.com telling me Marty Patterson got hurt, and is apparently out for the year. No details of the how or when this took place, I'll follow up when I get more info.

sorry to hear that 94. I know that is a HUGE blow for your season. Hope he is able to recover.

[ToTheLeft]

Wow... that sucks a lot. Hope he recovers fully.

[jcmanson]

Man that's terrible. Whats with the curse on GW's players?

RIP 09-10

You can't be serious!? Won't believe until I see it in writing by a credible source. I certainly hope this isn't the case. Patterson is an absolute beast and a player that had legit NFL potential. Please keep us posted.

That gives me a sick feeling in my stomach. Outside of the game against LU, I was rooting for the guy.

[01LUGrad]

Sorry to hear that. That's a tough loss, to say the least.
That also reminds me what can happen when injuries attack.

thinking back to the BSOUTH media day and the joke his coach made:

Gardner-Webb linebacker Marty Patterson, who led the conference in tackles a year ago, was the pick for preseason defensive POY. The last four Bulldogs who have earned the honor — Brian Johnston, Mario Brown and Jeffery Williams — all got hurt at some point during the ensuing season, prompting GWU coach Steve Patton to say, “I’m praying for you, Marty.”

Only one sentence at the end of this article about O'Daniel, but a big enough one....

Gardner-Webb has lost All-American linebacker Marty Patterson for the season with a hip injury. He was the Big South's preseason defensive player of the year

uh, yeah. that sucks. Sorry to hear that. Did he already red-shirt?

[BJWilliams]

not according to G-W's roster

[olldflame]

I dooubt Patterson has redshirted. Pretty sure he has been an impact player for them from day 1. Hate to hear this, even though it makes our job easier when we play them.
