GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Near the end of Florida's 30-27 loss to LSU on Saturday night the game was delayed for several minutes as UF receiver Latroy Pittman lay motionless on the ground.
Pittman collided with an LSU defender while trying to make a catch on a quick slant. The pass was intercepted and led to LSU's game-winning field goal. However silence engulfed The Swamp as a team of medical personnel attended to Pittman.
The good news: Florida announced this morning that Pittman was released from the hospital overnight after a series of precautionary tests checked out.
A junior from Citra in Marion County, PIttman has seven catches for 35 yards through five games.
