29 October 2008 @ 12:41 pm EDT

Patrick Edwards -- a wide receiver for the University of Houston's football team -- suffered a compound leg fracture in an accident during the Cougars' 37-23 loss at Marshall.

Houston QB Blake Joseph threw deep in the end zone to WR Patrick Edwards, causing him to run and smash his right shin into a band equipment cart that had been left a few yards past the out-of-bounds line.

Watch how the tragic accident rolled out:

Cougars' coach Kevin Sumlin told the Houston Chronicle that while he had "his opinions" on the subject, he would have no comment.

Houston Athletic Director David Maggard said he would pursue the matter with Marshall Officials.

"It was duly noted, and I think we'll save the conversation for another day," Maggard told the Houston paper.

"I don't think there is any question that it is a problem. We all noticed it, and we want to find out why something like that would occur. It was a serious injury, no question about it."
