I despise everything U(sic)ga, but hate to hear news like this. Hope he gets better soon

He tore it chest bumping Gurley after his td. Hate for him. Don't hate it for mutt fans.

If you have a bad knee and you know it, why would you chest bump anybody?

What a way to go... sucks for him. Hope he heals well but not completely until 3 years when his eligibility is up.

Man what a huge blow. hate it for the kid. I think UGA loses by 10 or more next week to USC.

 

[jzgt22]

Tough break for the kid especially injuring himself celebrating a touchdown.

 

[Sean311]

I heard Gurley got pretty banged up too

 

[GTFan62]

I wonder how many coaches are going to tell their guys to stop these kind of celebrations. I've seen our guys do it all the time.

Chip Towers commented that he'd be awarded a medical redshirt to regain the year of eligibility. Has that procedure changed?

My understanding is that you can't apply for a medical redshirt until after you've exhausted all of you eligibility. How can you be awarded something you're not even eligible for?

Additionally, the NCAA typically only awards a medical redshirt to a player that used his redshirt for something other than development.. So if Mitchell used his redshirt for getting bigger and stronger, there's a good chance he wouldn't be awarded a medical redshirt.

Am I wrong?

Did anyone see Clemson enter the field for this game? Coming down the hill one of the WRs took a huge jump off the steepest part at the bottom and you could tell he immediately regretted it. I don't think he was injured or anything but his feet were a good 6-8 feet off the ground at his highest point and he wasn't paying attention.
