I was amazed at how calm he was. He just put his hands behind his head and leaned back. I remember that look of shock Lattimore had once they removed his helmet, and kept thinking it hasn't hit Ware yet.

Yeah, I imagine his body was in shock. I bet he redshirts next year. Hope he is back and healthy for the 2014-15 season.

Yeah, I'm sure adreniline kicked in.
I broken both of the bones in my arm my freshman year playing basketball and I was in tears and I thought my athletic career was over.
Senior year playing football I broke my fibula, and I just kept saying "I just broke my fricking leg" in a relatively calm way
But the hot assistant trainer kept rubbing my (6pack)abs, that helped a lot

About 7 years ago, I snapped my tibia and fibula right above the ankle in a church league basketball game. It was a layup...first FG attempt of the year
When it happened immediately I thought I tore something. I heard the pop and felt some pain but it just wasn't as excruciating as you would think. Then when I saw my foot facing the opposite direction it got real.
As I waited for the ambulance, I joked...first I asked if I made the shot, then when asked if I needed anything I said "milk". I had everyone laughing. It wasn't until after the surgery that I wanted to die...so painful and I was on button morphine which made me have vivid dreams and I would flinch in my sleep and wake up to the most serious pain I've ever felt.
To this day I have a rod and 2 pins in there and I'd be lying if I said it didn't give me trouble on the court.

As others have alluded to, in a serious injury situation, sometimes the victim is the calmest one.
