Former Houston Receiver And Marshall University Settle Lawsuit

{Charleston, West Virginia}...Former Houston receiver Patrick Edwards has settled his lawsuit after suing Marshall University, Conference USA and a referee after breaking his leg during a 2008 game at Marshall. Edwards suffered a compound fracture and had to have a rod inserted in his lower right leg. He alleged the playing field was unsafe when he ran into a metal service cart while going for a pass. Edwards missed the remainder of the 2008 season but returned to catch 85 passes for 1,021 yards in 2009. In December, Edwards was named Conference USA offensive player of the year.
