The game was stopped for over 12 minutes while medics worked on Dubose, before he was carted off the field and transported to the local hospital. As they knelt over him, NBC reported that doctors unscrewed Dubose's helmet and applied an oxygen mask to the player.

He was hooked up to an EKG machine as he left on a backboard, with his neck in a brace. The injury occurred midway through the third quarter when Calen Bullock aimed a brutal tackle on Dubose as he tried to catch the ball near midfield. Medics take Grant Dubose to a waiting ambulance after loading him onto a stretcher.

As Dubose grabs the ball, Bullock slams into his helmet from close range and Dubose then smashes his head on the turf. He is left motionless on his back as the ball comes loose, before players realize he is badly hurt and call for medics to attend to him urgently.
