Adam Ballard is recovery from a successful surgery. After cutting through his 39 layers of muscle in his calf, the doctors were able to successfully repair the broken Fibula. Let's hope for a full and speedy recovery.

Ballard lost for bowl game

Adam Ballard underwent surgery today to repair his broken leg. On Adam's second carry, an Army defended rolled on his leg breaking his Fibia. Had Ballard not been injured, it was more than likely he would have ran for close to 300 yards. Ballard finished the game with 10 yards on just two carries. With Ballard being done for the year, he will end his Junior season with 792 yards on 154 attempts for a 5.1 yard average which is good for 59th in the country. (going into the bowl games)
Now I don't want to spread rumors, but the rumor on the street that I heard was that Troy Smith is behind Ballard breaking his leg. Smith has connections (although I have no proof) to the Army defender who rolled on Ballards leg. Smith, also a Heisman canadate, is rumored to have asked his Army friend to go after Ballards legs. With Ballard out, Smith might be the next in line for the Heisman Trophy.
