Following LSU's 41-14 win at Mississippi State, head coach Brian Kelly revealed that starting safety Greg Brooks Jr. was unavailable because of a medical emergency.

When asked about the severity of the emergency and if Brooks could return, Kelly said he "wouldn’t be able to comment on it until we get a full medical report.”

After the win, Kelly gave the game ball to Brooks.

This means so much more now that we know what the emergency was.

Its a family emergency so lets now pray for Brooks' family so he can play with a clear mind and focus on him being able to responsibly cover on Tigah's defense.

Apparently I'm misunderstanding this whole game ball thing. I was always under the impression that it was for performance on the field, not some feel good crap.

We seem to be veering towards a soft arse team. Especially with a mantra like "winning is hard". Hope I'm wrong.

Winning is hard. If it were easy, everyone would do it.

Under Coach O news like this came out before the whole staff was aware. Amazing how BK has kept the “insiders” out.

I’m know you’ll be sure to broadcast to the world the minute you find out you have a bad health scare. Is a printout of his medical records within the next few days sufficient for someone of your ilk?
