Ole Miss RB Kewan Lacy Injures Hamstring in Fiesta Bowl

In the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl semifinal, University of Mississippi running back Kewan Lacy suffered a right hamstring injury during a 73-yard touchdown run in the first half, sidelining the sophomore star for the remainder of the game against the Miami Hurricanes on Thursday night at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
