Spurrier suspends a starting OL for 4 games....

[Greenhead22]

The word is he was caught stealing, and it possibly was setup as a prank, but the AD and Spurrier see otherwise. I think that puts at least 3 OL's starting with zero game experience, plus adding 4 more starters that have been suspended for 3 games awhile back.

With the number of players not playing on both sides, this may be an uglier game than I originally thought.

well one things for sure the tailgate will be happening, I get out of class tomorrow at 9:15 and I plan on starting as soon as I can get to Corky's

It will not matter anyway! The DOGS WIN!
