Florida State’s defensive front just took a gut punch. Starting defensive end Deante McCray was helped off the field with a left leg injury in the second quarter of Saturday night’s game against Clemson at Doak Campbell Stadium. This is exactly what you don’t want to see, especially in a big game.
A Brutal Sight in the Second Quarter
This whole thing went down late in the first half after a play. McCray, a fifth-year defensive lineman, clearly needed assistance from trainers to leave the field. It was one of those moments that makes your stomach drop watching from the stands, or from home. You just immediately know it’s not good.

He couldn’t walk on his own power, man, which is always a tough sight for any fan to witness. While McCray was able to put some weight on his left leg, it was evident he was in bad shape. He was taken to the sideline and then whisked away to the locker room for further evaluation. What’s the damage going to be? The potential blow to the defensive front is real here.
We’re all waiting to hear the word on McCray’s status and what this means for the team moving forward. This guy is a starter, and his presence is crucial. We need him back on the field, plain and simple.
