Ousmane Kromah carted off in FSU game at No. 3 Miami with leg injury
Florida State running back Ousmane Kromah was carted off with a left leg injury during the Seminoles' game at Miami, and that is why his name is trending.
Why Ousmane Kromah is trending
People are searching his name because Florida State running back Ousmane Kromah was carted off the field against No. 3 Miami before halftime with a left leg injury. He went down after a 9-yard run near the goal line.
Trainers put an air cast on the leg on the field, then he was carted off and taken straight to the locker room. There is no update yet on how serious the injury is or how long he might be out. Florida State has not released further details beyond what happened on the field.
What he had done in the game and this season
Before the injury, Kromah had carried the ball 14 times for 44 yards in the game against Miami.
Entering that game, he had been the workhorse for Florida State this season with 100 carries for 565 yards and five rushing touchdowns.
An already thin backfield
Kromah's injury hits a Florida State backfield that was already short-handed. The Seminoles have been without Samuel Singleton Jr. since he suffered a knee injury against Alabama on Sept. 19.
With both Singleton and now Kromah out, Florida State is down to Quintrevion Wisner and Amari Thomas at running back.
What happens next
Thomas, a freshman, made his college debut against Central Arkansas, carrying three times for 11 yards. That is the extent of his game experience so far.
No timetable for Kromah's return has been announced. We will know more about the severity of the leg injury and how Florida State plans to handle the running back position once the team or coaching staff provides an update.
