Lindsey stabbed in 5 points

According to The State, University of South Carolina defensive end Jordin Lindsey was hospitalized early Sunday morning, a day after the senior was stabbed in the neck with a broken beer bottle during a fight in Five Points.

Lindsey, a native of Mobile, Ala., was academically ineligible this season after his cumulative grade point average dipped below 2.0. The defensive MVP of last year’s Liberty Bowl, the 6-foot-3, 254-pound Lindsey has one year of eligibility remaining.

Seems a night out went to far but the good news is he is okay.

Here is what the news media is reporting so far —
