LSU punter Colby Delahoussaye survived the tragic car crash in Wisconsin that took the lives of Nebraska punter Sam Foltz and former Michigan State punter Mike Sadler. As details from the accident continue to emerge, it is worth pointing out Delahoussaye's tale, which comes to us via his father, Dwayne.
According to The Advocate, Delahoussaye "has second-degree burns on his left leg, stitches to his head and bruising around his hips and chest." Dealing with those burns will be a process that will take weeks, but they come from a fire that, according to his father's version of the story, might have saved his life.
"All he remembers is that the fire was burning his leg and that woke him up," Dwayne Delahoussaye said. "He was knocked unconscious. The burning sensation revived him. That's all he remembers. He doesn't even know how he got out. He doesn't know where he crawled out of."
It's unknown at this time, according to his father, if Delahoussaye will be ready for the start of LSU's fall camp on Aug. 4, but there is a hope that he will be able to make a full recovery.
