No two ways about it, this is bad news.

The only way to sugar-coat it--and this is most unsatisfactory—is to note that, last year, the loss of Paul Oliver seemed similarly severe, yet it wound up not being that bad.

That’s cold comfort, I know.

Out for the year. For some reason, this isn’t worrying me as much as it should. Yes, Sturdivant had a great season, but our offensive line is still in better shape than it was at this point last season. Something tells me that Kiante Tripp is going to get a good, long look at stepping into the left tackle position. No matter who it is, the line will once again have to do a lot of growing up very quickly, hopefully before the South Carolina game. Either way, I have total faith in Coach Searles to make the offensive line work.

Thanks for the messages of peace TKK and SG! You both may very well be right. Coach Searleswill make the proper adjustments, and hopefully these guys can develope into a cohesive unit quickly. But seriously, what a loss! You really just have to feel awful for Trinton and the level of disappointment he must be feeling right now.

I feel much worse for Sturdivant than for the team. This is a real loss for the Bulldogs, to be sure, but this is genuinely sad for the young man, who undoubtedly is in a lot of anguish, physically and emotionally, over this injury.

Keep Trinton and his family in your prayers.

I just hope the Dawgs can get through the first couple games without a blemish. Those first few set the tone for the entire season, and with the loss of Sturdivant, and the suspensions, they need to be careful about letting the guard down. I know it’s Georgia Southern, but be careful.
At least Boling will only be out one game.
Go Dawgs!
