Fall Practice #6 & 7- 1st Two-a-Days

CBC: “I’ve learned that most of our guys will fight through the fatigue and the pain,” said head coach Bill Curry after the second of two practices Tuesday. “Football may be the most uncomfortable game in the world. Some people can’t handle it, but most of our men are at least trying. We’ve got light years to go in terms of execution and details, but I’m proud of the effort, for the most part.”

Bad News: The offensive line did suffer a loss as Curry announced that guard Michael Davis is out for the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee. The redshirt freshman from Lithonia, Ga., and Chamblee High School injured the knee in practice and will undergo surgery in a few weeks.

“That’s a tremendous blow to our football team,” said Curry. “He is one of our best leaders, one of our best players and one of our most upbeat people. We’re all in agony about it, but that’s football and that’s life.”

Junior college transfers Gabriel Hampton and Ladeven Kirkland have stepped in to replace Davis at left guard.
