Insult to Injury

In addition to the ugly loss, BC also suffered a number of injuries throughout the early part of the game that may have proved to be the difference. Most troubling was the ankle injury suffered by true freshman Josh Haden. Although he retruned in the 4th quarter, he appeared to still be hampered and was limited to only 8 carries for 35 yards rushing. Will we see more of freshman RB Montel Harris in the Central Florida game?

The tailback by committee approach appears likely as operation Jeff Smith seems to have stalled slightly. One reason may be Steve Logan's insistence on running smaller running backs like Smith and Haden between the tackles and into the strength of Georgia Tech's front seven - which is one of the best in the nation.

Deleon Gause also reinjured his ankle which he originally tweaked during his infamous faux "fair catch" in the Kent State game. His return seems unlikely for the near future.

Ron Brace also appeared to suffer what appeared to be a muscle spasm late in the game.
