Taveze Calhoun became one of the most important players on Mississippi State’s roster this past week. When Will Redmond became the second player in the secondary to tear his ACL and be done for the season, the Bulldogs were going to rely on Calhoun more than they have his entire career.
And for a brief moment, it looked as if Calhoun was going to join his teammates on the injury list. During the second quarter, Kentucky Quarterback Patrick Towles made a pass that sailed high, Calhoun jumped to make a play on the ball and was hit in the hamstring area by the Kentucky receiver in the area.
