WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Patrick Mputu, who started three games and shared the tailback spot with Maurice Lewis, tore a knee ligament Oct. 12 against Johnson C. Smith and will miss the rest of the season."It’s tough for him, and being a senior it’s a bad break,” Coach Connell Maynor said Tuesday. “The worst part about it was, he was just running, and he went down. To end his career like that is really tough.”
Mputu gained 297 yards on 60 carries and scored three touchdowns this season and also was an effective receiver out of the backfield, with eight catches for 80 yards.
Freshman Josh Glisson will get more carries as the backup to Lewis. He gained 31 yards on four carries and scored twice last Saturday against St. Aug’s.
