Blocton remained on the ground for a brief moment before receiving assistance from LSU's athletic trainers to return to his feet. Following the incident, Blocton was seen favoring his right leg as he walked slowly to the medical tent on the sideline. Unfortunately, senior defensive end Princewill Umanmielen also exited the game in the first quarter, with an undetermined injury. As of now, Umanmielen has not returned to the field.",
