Coral Gables, Fla. ? Miami running back Willis McGahee, above being helped off the field following a crushing hit during a Fiesta Bowl loss to Ohio State, had surgery Sunday on two torn ligaments in his left knee.

The All-American sophomore was operated on for 4-5 hours at HealthSouth Doctors Hospital, next to the campus, school spokesman Doug Walker said.

Dr. John Uribe, who performed the surgery, declined to set a timetable for McGahee’s return.

“Willis tolerated the procedure very well,” Uribe said in a statement. “If nature does his job and rehabilitation goes well, he should be able to make a full recovery.”

Doctors found torn anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments but no tear to the posterior collateral ligament.

McGahee ran for a school-record 1,686 yards and 27 touchdowns this season and was a finalist for the Heisman Trophy.
