From ESPN.com:
USC wide receiver Vidal Hazelton played the 2007 season with what he thought was a groin injury, leading the team with 50 receptions for 540 yards and four touchdowns.
But it turned out he played the season with a more serious injury -- two tears of his stomach muscles .
Hazelton recently underwent abdominal surgery for the injuries and is expected to be fully recovered in time for spring practice, according to Los Angeles-area media reports.
Vidal is my boy, so I hope he recovers quickly. I'd have to imagine the hit he took against Illinois definitely worsened the problem. Just goes to show how tough and dedicated Vidal is to play through all the pain. He's definitely poised for a breakout year this upcoming season.
