    I bet we do. I think JG might be more hurt than Pruitt is letting on.

    He's been beat to hell for two years on the run now. Wouldn't surprise me

    I think you are right.

    1) initial reports were he was going to the locker room for a "collar bone issue." And now they are talking about his ribs not being broken, just bruised. Weird.

    2) he was never going back into the game, he was just refusing to give up his helmet while in the tent and then when next to Pruitt, presumably trying to lobby his way back in. But there was no debate or real conversation. I'm guessing because he wasn't medically cleared.

    I think he did fracture his collar bone when the mask of that helmet hit him right at the top of the chest area, or received some other injury to his upper chest.

    Also possible that they let him stay hurt for a while so he doesn't look like, or feel like, he lost the spot. Especially with issues like bruised ribs and collar bones, hurt can mean what the staff wants it to mean.

    JG can rest up and get ready for next season.

    When will we know if he practiced?

    He has bruised ribs but no breaks. My guess is he practices very little this week and is likely out for USC.

    Chryst looked real comfortable more often than JG. Its hard not to really like JG though, but I do want to see what Chryst can do against a team that is not Alabama.

    thanks to everyone for the responses. I think we all like JG for is toughness, but as someone who has ( i admit) only watched casually the last few years JG does not seem to be the guy. But since Chryst won't be here for the future it might be a tougher call

    I’m afraid Chryst would be like that guy on the bench on your baseball team that kills it as a pinch hitter and spot starter but if you stick him in there for the long haul you get diminishing returns

    Then it’s time for him to start getting his “spot starts”.

    Bruised ribs will be hard to play with and be effective. Especially if he takes any hits at all.

    And we all know he will cause he can't read protections. He needs to take a game off.

    100%. I would think the staff will have him sit this game unless we need him to spark the team.

    Where is he in this pic? Don't doubt he practiced, but I just don't see him.

    Also, I agree with IP's assessment that he's too hurt to play on Saturday, and that this is 100% to prevent USC from knowing that it'll be Chryst on Saturday.

    NVM - It's a video. My bad.

    It also needs to be mentioned that maintaining the chance of JG starting does actually affect the amount of preparation Muschamp has to fit in this week.

    Does our offense change drastically with Chryst as opposed to Guarantano? Seems that a change in QBs wouldn't have a major affect on SC's defensive gameplan.
