Nebraska Tailback Marlon Lucky's In The Hospital

And as of 9 p.m. Eastern it is unclear why.

Lucky was hospitalized Sunday night after police were called to his residence that evening at 11:30.
Lucky, 20, was admitted to BryanLGH West hospital on Sunday evening for "undisclosed medical reasons," according to the Nebraska Athletic Department. A release said the department would have no further comment.

Jordan Picou, an NU offensive lineman who was returning early Monday evening to the two-room apartment the two shared, said hospital personnel would not allow him to see Lucky, but added, "he's cool right now. They're just making sure his organs are OK."

Police and firefighters were dispatched at 8 p.m. to Lucky's home near Capitol Beach Lake, west of downtown. Deputy Fire Chief Pat Borer said a fire engine was at the residence about 20 minutes, and an ambulance was involved for about an hour, which he said was typical when patients are transported to a hospital.
Here's hoping the kid's alright.

I'm going to sound like the guy at the AP Wire for a moment here with necessary filler: Lucky is a sophomore tailback at Nebraska who was second on the team with 728 yards. He scored six touchdowns on the year and is expected to be the Huskers' lead back thanks to the unexpected early NFL departure of junior Brandon Jackson who led the Huskers last year with 989 yards and eight touchdowns.

More updates to come as they are made available.
