Cal Football: Chase Garbers Leaves With Injury; Tattersall Taken Off in Cart

Tattersall is alert and has movement in his extremities

Cal quarterback Chase Garbers left Saturday night's game against USC with 12:45 left in the second quarter with an injury, and a few minutes later Cal linebacker Evan Tattersall was taken off the field in a cart with what appeared to be a serious injury.

Cal later reported that Tattersall was alert and had movement in his extremities, but was taken to a hospital as a precaution.

Garbers was injured while finishing off a 5-yard run. The Bears trailed 10-7 at the time of Garbers' injury. Garbers did not return at the start of the third quarter.

Garbers was making his first start since being injured in the Sept. 27 loss to Arizona State.

Devon Modster replaced Garbers and completed his first pass attempt.

Garbers was 4-for-10 for 43 yards when he left. 

Tattersall was injured on a kickoff-coverage play with 9:15 left in the first half and he lay motionless on his back for about 15 minutes. He was surrounded by medical officials before he was carefully loaded onto a stretched and put on a motorized cart to take him off the field.

Cal head coach Justin Wilcox came out on the field to accompany medical personnel as they worked on Tattersall.

When he was finally put on the stretcher, strapped in place and loaded onto the cart, Tattersall lifted his hand slightly in a thumbs-up suggestion.

Tattersall was injured when he took a hard hit from USC's Juliano Falaniko while covering a kickoff.

Later in the second quarter, Cal safety Ashtyn Davis left the field and was escorted to the Cal locker room. Davis was walking under his own power.
