B.J. Daniels Has Bruised AC Joint, Status For Friday Unkown

PrintIn his weekly press conference, Skip Holtz gave everyone a brief update on Junior QB B.J. Daniels' shoulder injury suffered against Miami this Saturday. From the initial tests, Skip is reporting that B.J. suffered a bruise in the AC joint in his right throwing shoulder.
The AC, or acromioclavicular joint is at the top of the shoulder where the acromion and clavicle meet. You've actually seen a rise in AC joint injuries over the past couple of years. Former USF QB Matt Grothe suffered an AC joint sprain just a series before he tore his ACL against Charleston Southern, and Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford also sprained his AC joint at the start of the 2009 season. While a sprain is definitely worse than a bruise, Bradford missed three games because of his injury.
While Skip hasn't ruled out B.J. for the game this Friday against Louisville, the staff has backup Bobby Eveld working with the first team this week to get him ready in case Daniels can not go. Holtz also said that true freshman Matt Floyd will be working with the 2nd team today in practice and as of this moment will be the backup to Eveld. When asked if he would burn Floyd's redshirt for the last two games of the season, Skip put it bluntly that if it meant the difference between a bowl bid and Matt's redshirt he would burn his redshirt every time.
We will keep you guys updated when we hear more information.

Burning a redshirt for a chance at the Shitspetersburg Bowl? No thanks.

Yeah, that seem ludicrous to me.
Go Bulls!

Yeah, a CHANCE.
And not just a redshirt, but the risk of throwing BJ Daniels (or any injured player) back out there and risking further injury if he’s not ready to play.

Beggars can't be choosers.
We should be happy for a chance to play in any bowl. I don’t like the “worse is better” mentality. Recruits and even incoming non-athlete students care about a football team’s performance. Imagine how embarrassing it would be if we fail to reach a bowl in what could be our last year in a BCS AQ conference.
With our uncertain future, I am sure some from a cheating institution to our southeast are more than willing to throw dirt on us while talking to our commits. I believe we have already lost one commit to them.

Different circumstances.
Pretty sure Jenkins wanted to play defense. USF didn’t want him for that side of the ball.

i think people are underestimating how important it is to make that bowl
we need something, anything to hang our hang on this year. if we somehow pull out of this mess 7-6 with a seven year bowl streak intact, that’s a HUGE step up over a 5-7, 1-7 year, especially as far as our prospects for next season go
that said, i agree that the idea of burning floyd’s redshirt is ridiculous. if daniels isn’t ready to go and eveld isn’t good enough to get us there, we don’t get there. simple as that.
