Sounds crazy. Pulled over for 10 mph over speed limit and the officer apparently found cocaine residue on the hood.

Wow. So it wasn't even in the car?

How they can prove that it wasn't some stranger doing it off his hood in a parking garage or something?

Great, if we beat them now everyone will just say it was because their best players were out

We'll have to face them again in the playoffs

They might miss first series or quarter or extra conditioning, they will play in opener.

the starting QB is the 1 who was arrested for speeding and leaving a little hood cocaine behind... the back-up DE was arrested for a "domestic incident"

QB Werts on left... DE Griffin on right


ETA: WTOC

quote:

Starting quarterback Shai Werts and defensive end Quan Griffin were arrested in separate incidents this week.

Lunsford said that Wertz was arrested Wednesday in Saluda, S.C. He was charged with speeding and misdemeanor possession of cocaine.

Werts is a redshirt junior from Clinton, S.C. He has started at quarterback the last two seasons.

Griffin was arrested Thursday in Florida in connection with a domestic incident.

Griffin is a junior from Glen Saint Mary, Fla. He played in all 13 games in the 2018 season.

Unless he’s driving around with his hood looking like Scarface’s desk, who even checks that?

My first thought as well Not that this game should've been in question before.

Oh well, now we can just rack up that much more stats, defense might pitch a shut-out, etc. Will be fun to watch a suffocating defensive performance, even if the game isn't competitive.
