Was this the one where their trainer was a combat medic and ran in to him and pinched the artery in his neck thus saving his life.

My great aunt was an RN on duty at the Aud that night. She used to tell us the story of the trainer/medic and a doctor who came out of the stands to help them stabilize Clint. Just remarkable that they saved him and that he played again!
