In more than one way, too. “McElwain didn’t name the nine infected players, but with players in such close quarters, they might not be the only ones infected before Saturday’s “Lambert was surgical with how he carved up South Carolina.

I mean, really: ‘Infected players!’ ‘IVs!’ ‘More disease to come!’ makes him just like…any other average quarterback out there! Amazing! All that was missing was a Twitter tweet from a Florida player’s relative “It might have taken longer than anyone wanted, but Georgia has its quarterback.” asking for prayers for his dying cousin with fluids dripping from his arm who was having last rites administered through a bubble by the team He’d been announced as the starter before the season began. chaplain wearing a haz-mat suit.
