Bryan Edwards likely out for Clemson game with a tear in his ACL

Nov. 20, 2019

Gamecocks most likely will be without its top offensive weapon against Clemson in just over a week and a half.

Gamecocks coach Will Muschamp announced wide receiver Bryan Edwards had a knee scope this week and is likely out for the Clemson game Nov. 30. Muschamp also announced linebacker Spencer Eason-Riddle tore his ACL.

“(Edwards) had some swelling in the knee,” Muschamp said. “It’s an injury he had in high school. [Doctor] Jeff Guy went in this morning and cleaned it up for him.”

“If he’s unable to go, it’s a huge blow,” Muschamp said. “As a defensive coordinator, Brent Venables would have to account for him. He’d have to make sure he covered down and have somebody on top of him at times.

“I hurt for Bryan because he’s certainly deserving of coming out of here with all the records, something I envisioned him doing this year, and he’s had an unbelievable year for us.”

So....that means he is a no go.

And with any injury, why would he play when he will be drafted?  Sad to say, I don't see how we come close to winning this game.

FYI....looks like Bryan has his knee scoped and Spencer Eason-Riddle tore his ACL. Bryan should recover in time for any post season games and NFL workouts. 

Spencer Eason-Riddle will have a long recovery.

I don't understand why we are calling him doubtful.

I've learned that's how Muschamp rolls. 

With Edwards out, if you thought the A&M game was bad....just wait

Well at least they can prepare for it now.   But yes I foresee a lot of 3 and outs.  That leaves us with 3 scholarship receivers for the game

I have to agree with both points. No upside to him playing less than 100% and our offensive leader being gone torpedoes our slim chance to win.

Y'all know that I can be positive to a fault but there is very little positive in this news. A sad end to a promising season imo...

I prefer partly to mostly improbable

with edwards likely out all the more reason to start joyner assuming he can go

 

[TKE226]

Maybe Muschamp will pull a Spurrier and rotate Qbs every down!

With Edwards out, we have absolutely zero chance.  I believe we had more of a chance last year than we do this year.  I doubt if I am going to even watch this game.  I may do so because it will be Saturday morning after Thanksgiving but I may find a better game to watch.  I can't tolerate the ineptitude of this team any longer.

And use him as a sacrificial lamb? That's what it would be because Clemson will know that he is only use to run the ball. That is a byproduct of neglect during the season. Playing him without weapons will also get him hurt.

yeah thats my concern, then again like you said i would have already gotten him significant playing time to see if he could help jump start a struggling offense.

Shit at this point, run shotgun with split backs. Joyner on one side, Feaster on the other, and Hilinski at QB. Then do direct snaps to one or the other - or run a regular shotgun snap to Hilinksi.

He threw some nice balls before getting hurt last week. Put him in and let him go, there is nothing to lose. I'd have more respect for them at least trying to get creative rather than try and run out the clock the whole game

 

[TKE226]

Is Feaster going to play? Kinda awkward guy used to play for Clemson now facing them as their rival. Im sure he would say he has something to prove but Clemson would be looking to take his head off.

Maybe Muschamp will pull a Spurrier and leave during the season!
