Watching him play against notre dame rn. Wish him all the best this season and more
He’s insane
I know and he’s lighting it up!!!!!
Bro same!
retweet
Good for him, but so you know Notre Dame will win!!
2:15 left, im kindof sweating it tho
The fact he managed to comeback at all is impressive, let alone lead a TD drive against a top seeded team like Notre Dame
That part
What he came back from is awesome, but Notre Dame is always over ranked...
@@kemosabekimboslice2751 nah that squad is legit
@@MNelson827 not really
Thats The Heart and Soul Of UCF. He is their best player. Best Wishes to McKenzie Milton
Xavier Musketeer I hate that. The Muskies are my favorite college team. How bout the Harden kid raining threes everywhere?
@@DavidThompson-yr1re Pretty good. He is just 1 piece to set up for our future and to have success in the coming years
What is the difference between "heart" and "soul", from an ontological and/or epistemological perspective? Thanks.
@@culturalliteracy3695 You damn well know what it is.
SinikkaL you look at that stupid fools channel is just like Alex Jones a conspiracy theory fool
Who’s watching him in the Florida state game? What a warrior he is🙏
YES BRO
So glad he was able to bounce back (coming from a USF fan)
Looked good on that drive... But I'm rooting for ND so maybe take him back out lol
yep. he killed it on that first drive
much respect. from a tennessee fan it makes me love fsu too now
It’s so good to hear that he’ll be able to play again!
watching him play against ND right now!
He’s balling rn
And what a game he’s just had
He’s back at it!
Couple of things that really touched my heart...His entire team came off the sideline, gathered across the field around him in support...Shows what a great leader he IS and his team was there for him...Also, the entire crowd (game was played at the opposing team USF's home field) and their entire crowd showed alot of love as they carried him off...I read recently that he has a 50/50 chance of playing this upcoming season...Nothing would please me more than watching him fulfill his dream and make it to the NFL...Such a talented young man with a bright future ahead of him...Best of luck and prayers sent for him getting back on that field and staying healthy.
Feel so awful for the kid. Hope he’s able to come back from this. Also, congrats to UCF for keeping their composure and pulling off a dominating win without Milton
Roll Tide.
Watching him attempt to bring Florida State back against ND as I type this. What a an amazing return to the game. Incredible.
Glad to see the guy back this year, inspiring story
@@Boomer468 same !!
@@Boomer468 I’m watching it to, amazing
If the NCAA won't allow these kids to be paid, there should at least be some type of injury protection. Almost like life insurance provided by the school. If you suffer a career ending injury you get $250,000 for example. Nothing close to what they could've made in the NFL, but its something
They already do.
Faheem Goree They already do... it’s called full ride scholarships to a University that usually costs >$80,000 for 4 years and a degree. Saved $80,000 in tuition and gives them a degree to start their careers.
@@djdjsjdhbd8092 a degree doesn't guarantee a good job. A lot of ppl with degrees are working in restaurants. But if he got drafted he was guaranteed 6 or 7 figures right out of college but now his leg is tucked up, they will pull his scholarship if he can't play and the university will continue making millions off the backs of these kids
Faheem Goree I never said that it guaranteed a $80k+ a year job. Obviously you still have to do research and find those kinds of jobs, but you wouldn’t get them without having a degree to show some sort of knowledge in that field. As for losing you scholarship, if you’re a good student the University may be able to offer an Academic Scholarship.
If you're considered a lock to be drafted to the pros, the school will pay for your insurance policy in case of injury while playing your sport...
This really sucks. The worst part of football. Such an inspiring team and inspiring person. All the best to him and UCF.
First Name Last Name Why?
First Name Last Name Same to you, show some class little guy acting big behind computer screen
The worst part of football is that its on TV.
@@UCFNationalChamps- You're the little guy acting big behind a computer screen. All he did was say he didn't like UCF. Learn to accept dissenting opinions like an adult instead of whining like a child.
Ian Goodman On a reply to a person sending best wishes to a QB who got seriously injured and you say F UCF? There’s a time and place to say that... not on a video where a college football player gets seriously injured, the team should be the least of anyones worries until we find out what happens. Worst case he won’t be able to walk again.
that could be career ending right there that was ugly
It bad could be knee dislocation. Like the one zach miller got.
That was my first thought honestly...
Marck Brown but doctors these days can make mircles happen.... hopefully he bounce back but man Ole Man that was ugly.. look like lattimore injury
Truly terrible, he’s not only a great QB but an even better human... praying for a fast recovery.
Reminds me of Lattimore at SC... signed by 49ers and barely played again before calling it a career.
Simply incredible that he was able to play again tonight
Just watched him lead FSU to score… Insane
Mans just threw his first couple passes since and has a stat line currently of 4/4 for 36 yards. That alone is awesome.
My goodness … I’m watching this Simultaneously while this dude is keeping Florida State in the game. He’s NOT even supposed to be walking without pain and he is throwing darts 🎯
Amazing
Hawai’i is praying for you, McKenzie!! 🌺🌴🙏
I love Hawaii
Now he's back. Great game vs ND. Didnt get win but he played great and he inspired lots of people.
Who’s here after the Florida state vs Norte dame game
He was/is a great player. One of the many reasons why UCF was undefeated.
Prayers to you and your family
I’m a Memphis Tiger fan....... they’ve become a rival of sorts, and as much as I’d love for us to beat them, I want us to do it when they are at their best. I hope this kid is ok and can get back ASAP. Modern medicine is amazing ! I’m sure he’ll be back .....best wishes bro
Super J well, I think you guys have your best shot now on us :( so hard to see the biggest piece of this team go down and could be the reason why the streak is over
Surprised that Memphis made it to the AAC title game. Memphis is pretty mediocre.
@@leonandrews7180 we made it to the AAC last year as well we have a legit program
ketrick waiters Yes you guys are, and are always a tough game for us, very well might beat us next week. However I know that our kids are going to play their hearts out and want to win for KZ so it’s going to be a great game. Hoping us UCF fans are ready to be LOUD, the players need us more than ever right now.
Roll Tide.
Its 2021 he’s back baby
I remember watching him play at Mililani. That boy is special. Wish for fast recovery 🙏
Roll Tide, though.
@Logic Fan 0/100
2yrs later that man will lead a touchdown drive for FSU against Norte Dame 09/05/21
I hope he has a quick recovery. Hate to see players with so much potential have their careers cut short
Willis MaCheee
Nearly will grier
This kid is back.
His first game back showed he is a warrior.
Mannn frum da knee down was turnt da wrong way, said he would neva play again and dis man out here ballin against ND.....gives me chills anotha great sports moment
As a USF student my deepest condolences go out to him. He is truly one of the best quarterbacks in the country and doesn't deserve to have his career ended like this. And as someone who has had knee and ankle problems for years I can understand a fraction of the pain he went through. Go Knights Charge On.
Roll Tide.
@@Carbon_Volture Yeah I treat it more like a social gathering more than a football game (granted I knew UCF was going to win from the moment I entered the stadium), and I don't usually go ballistic when my team loses. McKenzie was extremely lucky to not lose his leg, it was awful. I didn't see the injury when it happened but I sensed something was seriously wrong when the entire UCF team was over on one side of the field and the stadium was silent. I applauded with everyone else when he was carted off the field; I felt bad for him.
USF has dropped you to the waiver wire
@@beeasaintgaming2681 jokes on them I already finished school by only spending money they gave me
@@blord1205 dawg you replied quick
HE'S BACK!
LEGEND!!!
This should be titled *ESPN monetizes video of unpaid athlete having a potential career ending injury.
Business is business
FACTS
He wouldn't have a career without the university. He still has a full scholarship to get a good degree. That's better than most of the population
Anthony Staten you stupid bro they pay for that shit guaranteed. Also if he doesn’t play in the nfl he will get a very good job out of college
These guys are well paid lol. They get free college, fat stipends, free room and board.
glad to see him back
Poor guy. God bless him with a speedy recovery.
Coming from a WV fan, thoughts and prayers are with you from me McKenzie Milton, also to your family and team and the university, where praying for you Milton, be safe, get well soon, God bless.
hopefully it all broke clean with no ligament or nerve damage
keto mo I doubt it. There is too many ligaments in the knee.
You must live in neverland if you think that is possible
@@firstnamelastname9215 i like the kid, just hoping the best for him.. GoBlue 😎
Hope so, too...but looked more like a knee injury :( Either, way, hope he makes a full recovery.
@@hood_TheJoker injury sucks, but beat them suckeyes, GO BLUE
Here two years later watching him drive the ball down the field on ND. Proud of this kid.
Who’s here because of the Notre Dame game right now?
This guy threw a TD for Florida St today. Champ.
Anyone can lae here after he lead FSU down to score on his first drive back in 2 years? 😤🔥
Wow, and here he is playing tonight. Kid has heart.
Terrible. Not only a great QB, but great human too. I pray for a fast recovery for him and his family. Knight nation loves you!!! CHARGE ON & GO KNIGHTS!!!
I agree with you...minus the great person part. He didnt start those games due to behavior issues...
Daniel Salley What, lol? He’s started every game he’s been here except for the ecu game where he was injured. He absolutely is a great leader/person on and off the field.
My first thought: I hope he will walk one day. My second thought: Roll Tide.
Cultural Literacy dude seriously stfu
@@Amoney1109 Roll Tide.
Glad he got back to playing this weekend - so happy for him that it wasn't as bad as it could have been !! Great for him , his family and the team...the fans and the sport as well - best wishes to you and yours , young man.
Now I’m a Ucf fan and some usf fans were so rude. fans should be connected in a way. Like I went to this game, and the Usf fans in front of us were just like YES! MILTONS INJURED! fans like that are just bad
James C. I’m a Florida fan but that is messed up
I felt bad for him and I'm a USF fan!
just threw a few bullet passes vs #9 notre dame . Milton is tuff 🔥
Who’s here from him balling out tonight at FSU?
Had to see this video cause he just had A DRIVE!!!! Go Kid!!!
Wow... I really hope he pulls through. This is so unfortunate..
Just watched this kid go 4/4 and throw a TD against number 9 Norte Dame. Special story. Stories like this are why we love sports
Damn that's nasty prayers 😱😱🙏🙏🙏
That's gruesome
He needs prayers & medical care!
@@spence_903 And it's also gruesome!
@@chrisrobinson3494 oh snap sorry about that
@@spence_903 No need to apologize dude, it was just a mistake, let's just hope Mckenzie makes a FULL & COMPLETE Recovery!
Oh I will be praying for him thanks for your comments and all your love and god bless🙏🏽
He was the next NFL star I don’t care what anyone says that kid is fr
Malik Strother no he’s not
😂😂😂
He might, it depends how that leg rehabs over this season (he won't be playing obviously) and where he goes.
@@juanbeltran308 He was short but his arm, release, and speed were the real thing.
Now he’s playing right now
I hope Milton has a smooth recovery! I pray for him!
Came here after his first drive at Florida State since he got hurt! Truly inspiring story!
Rmember that time the runaway golfcart ran over like 15 people at cowboy stadium
@King Duke
Came back after hearing the news that he will play one more season at UCF. Made me feel like there’s hope, determination can really take you places.
I guess the playoff committee really didn’t want UCF in the play offs
Dumb QB read crushed team's dreams, not playoff committee.
The weekend Saturday Sunday unfortunately this will be the END all be all towards the Committees argument that UCF doesn’t belong.... It will be BS... But damn this shit right here adds more to their “so-called 4 team CFP” race... FOH Committee
@@abreathoffreshsports Idk if you know, but UCF wins this game 38-10
The weekend Saturday Sunday ... They don't deserve to be in the playoffs there sos is awful at 33 ... Go undeafeted playing better teams and your guaranteed a shot in the cfp 1 team in the top 25 at Cinci the committee will never accept ucf in the cfp but none of that really matters cause ucf will still proclaim to be fake paper champs and wouldn't surprise me at all if they made Milton fake Heisman winner .
@@gearbro5th56 Why don't you go be a dick somewhere else.
You are so loved ❤️✝️
This is the Marcus Lattimore injury. MCL, ACL, PCL, possibly more.
Eric Stevens exactly what I was thinking. Terrible :(
Yeah also like Alex Smith.
I love 💗 watching NFL and college football 🏈 players show respect 🫡 and support at all times like the this
watching him play for FSU rn
My heart goes out to that kid...you never want to see anyone get hurt.
It's part of the game, I know...but you never get used to these injuries. Best of luck, kiddo.
Whos here from FSU first snap completion
The healing began with all the love pouring from the whole stadium.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Prayers in effect.
Roll Tide. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Feel so sorry for this guy...prayers 🙏🏾
Who’s here after he just marched down the field on Notre Dame
And now he’s transferring to FSU
yessirrrr
pain.
Go Nolesss
I just watched Milton return to the field for FSU vs ND & led a TD drive.
Looks like a complete PCL tear and probably ACL and MCL. The knee can be reconstructed using cadaver ligaments, but it will never be 100% again. He will always have to play with a brace, but we'll see.
You have no idea what his injury is. Give it a rest.
When Brady had his ACL injury in 2008 when he returned he played with a brace and hasn't taken it off since
@@shooter4805 Actually, I'm making an educated guess based off of prior knowledge and experience. Sure, no one knows for certain at this present time, but one can speculate and make comments as they so desire.
@@23ofSeptember Yes. Alabama, National Champions: 2017; 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015 and counting... #rolltide
@Hugh Jassol Incoherent. Good try.
That sucks. Every QB getting injured now. Really hope he gets better. Also I like how South Florida also was near the injury and prayed for McKenzie. That right there is good sportsmanship.
If UCF played Alabama before the Milton injury time, they would of still lost(this year at least, maybe not last), but you have too respect a program that gets only about 50 million in athletics a year, while Alabama makes and spends almost 200 million. You give Alabama a budget of 50 million a year, and they wouldnt be anything close to the powerhouse they are today. UCF deserves credit for being in my opinion a top 6-7 team in the nation. Really unfortunate the injury for the team, and really for Milton as he was a nice enough guy. Dont go shoving the whole "i bet you cant beat me now" when the kid might of just had his career ended. Send your thoughts out to the player, and focus on his speedy recovery.
We know that UCF never had a chance against Alabama, although it was fun for many to drink the koolaid/play make-believe. That said, how could one not feel for the QB , as his poor run-read hurt his team and his leg. Indeed, my first thought was: "I hope he will walk one day." My second thought? "Roll Tide." #feelinlove
Roll tide roll
*Would've.
Shut up about Alabama. No one gives a shit.
@@user-rw4xi8sm8h i was really hoping UCF was at its best going into the Fiesta Bowl ? Vs L.S.U .. Now im hoping L.S.U dont play them in that game ... Boo was really wanting the tiger's to stop all the hype ... Not now good luck and have a speedy recovery if thats even possible
Huge props to USF's sideline staff for checking on him before UCF's people could get there for him. Nasty injury
access1992 If you’re that badly injured you would accept help from anyone even if it’s your rival.
he got one pumped
no disrespect to him though. im just joking
Ze Leopard Fox a joke that had no humor to it you could have did better💀
I feel so sorry for him, that team, and those fans... So heartbreaking...
Very unfortunate. We pray for healing and a good recovery, in Jesus Name amen 🙏🏾
Aaron Cummings 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
God doesn't exist.
Praying: the only way to get the positive psychological benefits of helping your fellow man, without ever actually doing anything. Yay religion!

@@benvinson2460 how about you STFU! I don't give a damn what you believe or worship, people like you don't know their elbow from there asshole, this is an injured nice young man, show some respect, if you even know what to tf that is!
Back here after hearing he was cleared! Prayers for this guy and hopefully he can get back on the field🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Back on tonight
He was in the Heisman race and this will also downgrade his draftstock. Hope he gets better soon- Hawaii strong
That's sickening, prayers for him,family and teammates. We have seen gruesome injuries like that before and the player make a recovery. The big guy has a plan for him and he will make a impact regardless of what he's doing.
College players need to be paid!
and this madlad IN HIS FIRST START IN 1000 DAYS almost beat the #9 team in the nation. Led some amazing offensive drives. Truly shed a tear.
I gotta say, I'm kinda tired of seeing this stuff happen
It's crazy to think this has already happened twice in the NBA and to Alex Smith in the NFL this season...
It will always happen in sports unfortunately.
And you’re probably a liberal too 😂
What a comeback story
I was there! It was terrible to see such a serious accident, BUT WE WON!! GOOOOOO KNIGHTSSSSS!!! 🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛
i would not call it an accident it was clearly malcious. helmet went straight in targeting style. red card to the rowdies ( SOCCER joke)
Winning is inconsequential you dumb bimbo
UCF won the game but lost their chance at the playoffs.
But we WON ? What a joke comment just shows ya she was there but has no clue about football or what that does to this team ! Hey our Qb is dead after winning so many games in a roll but we won this one !! GO TEAM GO
tell me what stadium it was in without looking it up...and tell me ucfs record before the streak
It just sucks to see injuries like this happen. Absolutely gnarly, I hope he plays again.
I hope teams don’t pass on him of he declares for the draft 🙏🏾
J. Robertson I can tell you there’s no play his senior year
J. Robertson teams will pass sadly, he’s a great quarterback. But teams need a guarantee on how well they can play without any limitations because of a old injury. If that makes sense
No kneed for bad knee--the hard reality.
I just hope he can walk again
@@ichighlights2384 Roll Tide.
Who’s here after fsu vs notre dame
Incredible player ! Very sad to see that. I just hope they can save his leg. I’m asking Jesus please be with him and his family
Brian really dude, u want to turn tragedy into a religious discussion. Please feel free to wish him well in any way u choose. Don’t be an ass
Brian your a piece of crap !!! Why would u even say that ! I’m a veteran. U have no respect. Tell me where u live I’ll drive there and I’ll teach u respect for veterans and disabled people ! Your a coward tho, I can already tell ! Calling people names ! Brilliant ! Your an idiot !!! I’m supporting people with serious injuries and u call me a faggot. Give me your address. I’ll show how to respect people !
Alan Fisher don’t pay any mind he’s just a stupid idiot Troll
@Brian I'll sideswipe your sorry tail and you'll know how it is to have a serious injury, or even death, back down s.o.b
@Brian screw the Corinthians, I'm talking about the real God, the one from Christianity, not that fake one, but the real God is in my heart, btw, I never read Corinthians, and I never will
Wow, I'm Praying for this young man to heal and have a successful career!!
He ight
yea he just jammed it he'll be at practice on monday💯💯
Give him some rest he'll be back up in no time.
jimmy thompson his leg might be amputated
He needs some milk!
Hell no he ain't his leg look like a broken branch
And tonight, he is back.
Roll Tide: National Champions!
I can see you like Alabama, I don't, but that's not why I'm commenting, it's about showing respect
@@LacodaOfficial Ok.
@@culturalliteracy3695 thank you, have a nice day
Watching him dropping dimes against #9 Notre Dame with FSU. Amazing recovery comeback. Proud of him
Damn
I said holy shit wen I seen that leg
It was inspiring to see him play again
Hey it was bound to happened when they have to change the rules this year for no helmet to helmet contact considering targeting. Either that or break something else from other part of the body. Save the brain or damage the limbs it's your choice.
I hope and wish him the best. My he recover and be well at 100%
Build the wall!
Go fuck yourself
You can go fuck yourself too 🤗
Idiot
Yes.
👍👍👍
Here after he takes Florida state up the field.Great site
Why run your QB?
He threw an ugly interception and his passer rating is not in the top-10.
It’s just the game. In college the DEs are still slow enough that a running quarterback adds dimension and helps score. In the NFL the DEs are fast, so a quarterback has to work from the pocket or have speed like a WR to get out and run.
God please be with this man and let him be agile and not take a lot of hits, I myself would be terrified to be a D1 quarterback after going through this but that is why I am not that. What a warrior this guy is.
Cheap shot
I think it was too. All is fair in football, love, and war
You're an idiot. You cant hit the qb high, and you cant just stand there and hug him because you'll never get him down.
So you gotta go low and it just happened that he hit his plant leg. Its football. Leg injuries will happen more and more because of stupid rules
Not a cheap shot, players being taught to hit low on a QB so they dont get a flag
Lets face it, the target has narrowed where a defensive player can hit. As horrible of an injury as this was, I didn't look at it as a cheap shot but instead it got crowded over by the sideline and as he was tackled his leg got caught on another player already down. Prayers for this young man. Hopefully he can make a good recovery, but it looked pretty bad.
Definitely not a cheap shot
I remember this. What a story. Here after the game tonight
