Kentucky football wide receiver DeMoreo Ford ruptured the patella tendon in his knee during practice on Saturday and could miss the 2008 season, the Associated Press reported this morning.
That's especially disheartening for UK fans because Ford was certain to have a banner year this fall.
Ford, a junior, will have surgery to repair the injury this week. In his career, For has made 20 receptions for 236 yards and two touchdowns. He played his high school football for former Crittenden County head coach Steve Pardue, who now coaches at LaGrange, Ga.
