He doesn’t break off a lot oflong runs, but he gets you consistent yardage.” Skip Holtz praised Jenkins’ im provement while saying there still is work to be done. “Corey did some good things against LSU,” he said. “He is im proving, and he’s throwing the ball better. Mentally, he still needs to continue to improve his reads I and concentration on the cover ages.” Brewer in bad shape Senior tailback/wide receiver Ryan Brewer was in the hospital Monday and Tuesday suffering from a stomach ailment and de hydration. Brewer also had his left ankle put in a cast after suf fering a high ankle sprain against LSU. Brewer is one of Carolina’s toughest players, but he could miss the Tennessee game. “Today was the first practice I can recall that Ryan Brewer has missed since he’s been here, and, to be honest, it wasn’t the same out there without him,” Lou Holtz said Monday. Injury report Offensive tackle Jeff Barnes suf fered a sprained wrist Saturday, but X-rays were negative. Other in jured Gamecocks include Rashad Faison, Gonzie Gray, Dennis Quinn and Watts Sanderson (sprained ankles); Andrea Gause (sprained knee); and Ricardo Hurley (pulled hamstring). Center C. J.

And yet, when they celebrate, the crowd loves it and the opponent shrugs it off. Why can’t this be the case in foot ball? Everyone needs to stop being a baby. Did anyone see Salisbury yell at Owens on ESPN? Stuart Scott should have stuck a pacifier in his mouth. The NFL is too restrictive of its athletes, in general. Peyton Manning wanted to honor Johnny Unitas’ death by wearing black high-top sneakers like Unitas used to back in the day. The NFL wouldn’t let him. It’s starting to get ridiculous. Does the league want personali ties it can market and make mon ey from? Does the league want rat ings, or does it want robots? Weekly Awards Pimp Daddy of the Week: Tyrone Willingham Notre Dame is 7 0, and with barely anybody on of fense. He brought a winning attitude Bend, and it’s good Willingham to see the Irish back as a national power. The big test comes Saturday versus Florida State. Chris Rix better watch out. Toolbox of the Week: Jackie Sherrill Salisbury might need a pacifi er, but Mississippi State’s head coach needs diapers, a bib and a rattle. Sherrill’s been whining about the referees for his team’s misfortune. Coach, it’s not the officials. It’s your players — they’re really bad.
