Also noted that it was not the same knee that he injured previously. No ligament damage, no surgery, "doubtful highly doubtful" for SC but "we'll know more next week." Harrison and his family are "excited" because "it is much better news than it could have been."
No one else had serious injury. Bumps and bruises. Meeks got kicked but went right back in.
Love is being held out this week "Looks good for U SC" as he is already running. Will know for sure in a week.
With regard to the offense getting bogged down in the second half. "A little bit of them and a little bit of us." "I thought we blocked them well in the first half and didn't block them as well in the second half."
Asked about he Defensive Line rotation. It was deliberate to keep Solomon Thomas fresh for the end of the game. Said Thomas nearly had a 5 sack game. Said "it is a pretty good assumption" that Jordan Watkins will start against SC, and praised the progress he has made.Â
Commented that players like Watkins and Bright are very versatile, and this hurts them since they get moved around. But they truly excel when left at a given spot to perfect it.
On the surprise onsides, he said it was a "judgment call" and that they were not sure they were going to do it, and they had worked the regular kick return team hard to be prepared for the surprise onsides and thought they would be ready. Made it sound like they took a calculated risk and lost.
Shaw said Burns looks like a fourth year senior. Likes his decisions and check downs. Never had the fumble on the exchange during any practice--so that was a surprise. They will practice through Wednesday and then the team will get a 4 day weekend.
