Overview
- Lacy first appeared to injure his shoulder late in the second quarter, entered the medical tent, and returned to start the second half.
- An ESPN sideline report said he declined a shoulder brace before reentering, choosing to play without additional support.
- He later left again and went to the locker room without his helmet, finishing with 15 carries for 87 yards and a touchdown.
- Golding had offered no specifics at halftime and emphasized a next-man-up approach before later calling it a bruised shoulder.
- The SEC rushing touchdowns leader this season with 20, Lacy’s status is important as Ole Miss, after a 41–10 win over Tulane, prepares to face Georgia in the Sugar Bowl.
