Unfortunately, in football, injuries are common….

Sometimes too common.

This past Saturday, South Florida QB Matt Grothe was lost for the season as he tore the ACL in his left knee during the first half of the Bulls 59-0 win over Charleston Southern…thus ending the collegiate career of the possible four year starting QB.

Grothe led the Bulls to national prominence with his ability to run and pass, and, had the uncanny knack to make big plays when necessary.  He was one of the top QBs in Big East during his career….including fantasy…and led the Bulls to three consecutive bowl games.

He also went 3-0 vs my alma-mater (UCF)…OK maybe that part was not so good, however, Grothe did earn my respect….and the Bulls program would not have come so far along, so soon, if it was not for Grothe.

Reportedly the Bulls will replace Grothe as starting QB with B.J. Daniels

Thank you, Matt Grothe, for making me look like a fool…

South Florida QB Matt Grothe (pictured, thanks IconSMI ) again humbles your QB prognosticator.  Not only did the Bulls QB find a way to beat this writer’s alma-mater, again…he proved me doubly wrong by throwing for 350+ yards and a couple of TDs in the Bulls 31-24 overtime win at UCF.

So much for not playing Grothe last week…oh well.

Hopefully Mr. Grothe does not make me look foolish this week, for I am telling everyone to play him this week when the Bulls host Todd Reesing (play him, too) and the Kansas Jayhawks in an interesting inter-sectional match-up this Friday night.
