And they say the band can't impact a football game

Methinks Marshall University will have a hefty lawsuit pinned against them in the near future. Here's a clip of Houston wide receiver Patrick Edwards running full speed through the end zone in an effort to catch an overthrown ball. Edwards runs out of the back of the end zone and collides with carts associated with the Herd's marching band.

Please watch. There's a slow-motion replay around the 1:15 mark.

Edwards, a freshman and the team's leading receiver, suffered a compound fracture and underwent surgery in Huntington, W.Va. He had a rod placed in his leg, although doctors expect him to make a full recovery and be ready for next season.
