At about 3:05 minutes to go in the 3rd Quarter of Sunday’s game, the Spread Offense quarterback at West Virginia, Pat White, lay flat on the ground after he ran and picked up the first down and was hit by two Steeler defenders. He was knocked out of bounds and was immobile.

As the incident was replayed, it showed that Steeler Defensive Back Ike Taylor’s helmet-to-shoulder-pad blow that almost immediately froze White as he fell to the ground. Players from both the Steelers and Dolphins motioned for medical help as White lay on the grass. Play was stopped as trainers and doctors worked to determine White’s condition. After a few minutes a flat-bed cart was brought out and White, who’s body was placed in a restraining apparatus, was carried off the field.

West Virginia’s record of White showed that was an 18-win, 2 loss starter over his four year career, with a 4-0 bowl record. Showing that he was indeed an asset.
