Players from Tennessee State and Vanderbilt gathered at midfield as soon as the final horn sounded in Saturday’s game to pray for Tigers middle linebacker Christion Abercrombie. Abercrombie, an Atlanta native, suffered a head injury late in the second quarter and was rushed to Vanderbilt Medical Center, where he had emergency surgery. “The last I heard he was in surgery; we’ve been praying for him,” TSU coach Rod Reed said after the game. “I’m going to leave here and go there to see about him.” Abercrombie was listed in critical condition after the surgery, according to a TSU release Reed was unsure about exactly when Abercrombie was injured. “It was right before the half,” Reed said. “He came to the sideline and just kind of collapsed there.” FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/UsaTodayNewsNetwork/ GOOGLE+ https://plus.google.com/u/0/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/usatodaynewsnetwork/ Twitter https://twitter.com/usatodaynews0
