Jasper Brinkley, the key linebacker injured early in this weekend's game is out for the season. Tough blow for SC and unfortunate for Jasper. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3034655
Re: Gamecock's losr Brinkley for the season That's too bad. I always say I hope they get the crap knocked out of them but that they feel 100% right after the final whistle blows. ALL of these kids work so hard that I hate to see any sort of injury come from the game. Hopefully that story is inaccurate and he comes back sooner than expected.
Re: Gamecock's losr Brinkley for the season They talk about a knee sprain but then say 3 mos of rehab after surgery. I guess they are of the Les Miles school of not disclosing injuries. They also seem quite confident they will get a medical redshirt. Wish him the best.
Re: Gamecock's losr Brinkley for the season That's really unfortunate. He tried to play in the game afterwards and really gave it his all. I'm sure SC fans are quite proud of the young man. Too bad he won't get to see the field again this year.
Seems he's already looking forward to playing next year (med redshirt) and playing with his brother again... It is unfortunate, he was likely the best football player on their team from what I've read.
