Cincinnati's Munchie Legaux suffered a serious leg injury during a game against Illinois on Saturday and was hospitalized. Legaux was trying to lead a fourth quarter comeback as Cincinnati trailed 31-17 against an Illinois team that struggled to put away an FCS team last week. As he got rid of a pass, he was sandwiched by a pair of Illinois defenders. (That's a link to a .GIF of him being hit. We opted not to post it here, because it's rather gruesome.) He immediately went down, and everybody around the Illini's stadium quickly realized the severity of the injury.Kay was the projected starter entering August but was slowed by shoulder fatigue, allowing Legaux to reclaim his spot in the starting lineup.Illinois would score 14 points after Legaux's injury, beating Cincinnati 45-17 to move to 2-0. The 28-point win provided the program's largest margin of victory since beating Purdue 44-10 on Oct. 30, 2010.Legaux was hit by two Illinois defenders as he was delivering a pass and immediately went to the ground. Players who were near him instantly signaled for the trainers and looked horrified after seeing the damage.
