Tennessee RB likely lost for season after crash

A running back for the No. 8 Tennessee Volunteers is likely out for the regular season after crashing his vehicle early Friday.

Duane Morris, who ignited the Neyland Stadium crowd with a 66-yard touchdown run against Kentucky, suffered a broken leg after the wreck Knoxville police have labeled as careless erratic driving.

The preliminary report said Morris was making a turn off Kingston Pike when he accelerated and lost control, striking a fire hydrant that flipped the car over, and it continued down the street, hitting four other vehicles.

A statement from UT Athletics said Morris suffered non-life threatening injuries. Morris is a sophomore in Knoxville and is a native of Chattanooga.

The Vols travel to College Station to face the Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday.
