What happened to Florida football RB Duke Clark vs South Carolina?
Florida's No. 2 running back Duke Clark left during the game against South Carolina. Here's what we know.
Florida Gators' running back Duke Clark suffered an injury during the first half of their game against South Carolina, forcing him to leave the field with two minutes remaining. The sophomore, who had already been held to just five yards on three carries, was accompanied by a trainer as he headed to the locker room. After the halftime break, which left Florida trailing 17-10, Clark returned to the game wearing a boot on his left foot.
Prior to this injury, Clark had been a key player for Florida, recording 260 yards and three scores on 33 carries. He had also contributed on offense with five catches for 26 yards and a touchdown. In a previous game, he played a crucial role in Florida's upset win against Ole Miss, rushing for 126 yards and a touchdown. Now, with Clark sidelined, Florida will rely on transferring running backs Evan Pryor and London Montgomery to fill the void.
