South Carolina's best defensive player is out for the year with a knee injury. This adds insult to injury because they lost a starting D-lineman before the LSU game for the season. Now they're starting Smelley at QB... they look a lot more vulnerable now.

The injuries on defense definitely hurt, but Smelley is an upgrade at QB IMO.

dang, that is a huge loss for them. I've always liked the way Brinkley played. he's a monster on the field.

from the last ESPN The Magazine in an article about the Brinkley brothers:

Biggest Fear?
Solo they wrote:
Cap: None
Jap: Tearing me ACL

a bit further down he says:

It seems like every person in their senior year gets hurt, and it's always the ACL. I remember I tweaked my hamstring in spring practice, and all I could think was ACL, ACL, ACL.


any word on the specifics of the injury?

It scares me that he will have a few games under his belt before the Vols come calling. Spurrier will find a way to put points on the board before this season is over. If they can find a way to beat Florida (not beyond the realm of possibilty), Spurrier will go down as the best coach ever in the SEC.

According to Spurrier, they expect Brinkley to get a medical hardship and return to the team next season.
