Jasper Brinkley out for season...

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.

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?

Here's the article on Brinkley's injury.

The State | 09/25/2007 | Football | Injury ends Brinkley year

Not only is he our best defensive player, he was basically a coach on the field, calling out all of the defensive sets.

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.

That's a shame for Brinkley, a bit ironic as well.
