SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Texas A&M safety Bryce Anderson has feeling in his limbs after being taken to a local hospital following a play that left him motionless late in the first half at Notre Dame.
After the Aggies’ 41-40 victory over the Fighting Irish, coach Mike Elko gave an update to reporters, saying that “we’re still praying for Bryce. At this point, all signs are positive. I don’t think we’ve given every diagnostic test. But so far, the tests that we’ve run through have come back positive. We’ll continue to pray that that comes to a positive resolution.”
Anderson was carted to the locker room with 55 seconds left in the half. His head collided with Notre Dame tight end Eli Raridon on a 25-yard completion. Teammates immediately summoned medical personnel, who spent about 10 minutes stabilizing Anderson’s neck. The senior from Beaumont, Texas, gave a thumbs-up as he left the field.
Texas A&M’s players came off the sideline and knelt on the field while Anderson was down, and several players approached him before he left.
Anderson had four tackles in the victory.
