He's lucky he didn't injure himself worse than two high ankle sprains jumping from a second story balcony onto concrete, but at least he saved his nephew's life. With him gone for a questionable period of time, looks like another freshman will be starting for USC with that Stanford game looming.

Shucks those types of sprains last a long time. Especialy for a corner who relies on explosive movements in every direction which puts the hurt on the ankles. Sorry Sark!

At least he didn't hurt his hips.

He's probably out for at least 2 months at least from being a productive player standpoint ...

Gives Sark another built-in excuse.

I was just thinking this ...

The stars couldn't have aligned any better for Sark.

Two freshman on the OL ... sprained ankles ... new coach in Fresno ...

How in the hell is he expected to win!

The new coach in Fresno... 'ol What's-his-Name.

Shaw seems like an OKG. The Trojans will be fine without his limp wrists on the field.

Focusing on that instead of his week 13 and 14 game plan sounds... tedious.

McIntyre is the name you're looking for.

You're welcome.

The story is a bit vague... was Shaw jumping to land in the pool? ...but fell short and landed on the concrete next to it? Ouch.

But props to him for risking his health to save a struggling toddler in a pool.

Definitely an OKG. Takes balls to jump off a 2nd floor balcony I to concrete.

Now the bad part is the patented Sark Excuse Machine will fire up and he gets to blame a loss or 2 on a high character kid who sacrificed to save his nephew.

There's a *gurgle* joke here somewhere, but I am too dumb to figure out where.

Dennis_DeYoung · August 2014

Fuck USC. I hope he gets AIDS while Haden butt-rapes him.

i took it as he saw his toddler nephew going into the water and he jumped from the 2nd floor onto concrete to save him and when his ankles blew he crawled over to get the kid out. i think this is a pretty awesome move - pure instinct. kudos to Shaw.

I know you're being sarkastic but 7 year olds aren't toddlers.

This is probably why I've never been this kind of a hero... or a Pac 12 caliber safety... but if it's me, I take the split second it takes to think "I should jump for that water... not for the concrete".

you obviously don't have kids. they don't stop being toddlers.
