They also mentioned the coaches saying TVD was smiling more at half than he has in a while and getting back to having fun again. I think there were a variety of things going on
Here's what the sideline reporter said:
TVD was seen limping on the sideline and receiving treatment from the medical staff
" He told us in October he suffered a rare leg injury called a Morel-Lavallée lesion, where the skin separated from the muscle and fat layer on his right leg from the knee down,” McGrath said.
“It’s an injury most commonly seen in high-velocity traumas like car accidents. It causes extreme pain and swelling and he admitted it’s hampered his ability to make plays outside of the pocket. He refuses to make excuses but it is bothering him today.”
Those details were NEVER revealed before today and it was TVD himself that revealed them. Lesson should be learned here about passing judgment without all the details.Here's what the sideline reporter said:

Yes. He took quite a few shots.Did you watch the game Today?
He got out of the pocket and off his spot more today than he had ever previously done combined.Yes. He took quite a few shots.
Doesn’t it speak volumes the staff opted to ride a hurt TVD instead of Emory until they had no choice?
And FSU showed us why.
I njjiiiiiuuuiiiiiI don’t recall ever hearing what the extent of the injury was to his leg. Mario and those in the know here on CIS don’t reveal injury specifics. TVD is obviously hurt worse than any of us knew about. We heard about his index finger, ribs, shoulder, and his leg but not specific details.
I concur... there are things that don't add up. But there may be an answer to the TVD issue that is evident to all of us who have watch TVD's performance throughout his playing time at the U. I believe that TVD's inconstancy is what has the coaches and the fans puzzled. Some games he played well, then the next game he was ineffective. How many times have we seen the following from TVD:Surprised no ones really talked about this.
During the game they talked above TVD having received a traumatic injury where his skin separated from the muscle and fat in his leg. This is a serious injury that most commonly occurs in bad car accidents.
That can definitely go a long way in explaining the sudden drop in play during the season. Dealing with that could be the source of a ton of pain and discomfort.
But if that was the case, *why was TVD playing?*. Why not play Emory in the easier conference games with a QB friendly game plan, and let TVD recover without further risk of making things even worse?
Were the coaches worried about losing those games by starting a freshman instead of their (apparently badly) injured star? Well we lost anyway, Emory lost reps that could have made a difference vs FSU, and TVD was at risk of having his recovery derailed. For all we know it was and why they were forced to sit him out against FSU in the first place.
Just a crazy development and insight into what went wrong this season.
I kept posting if people knew his injuries they be a tad more understanding. A tad lol.Surprised no ones really talked about this.

It also speaks volume that Mario failed miserably to upgrade the depth at QB in the portal this past seasonDoesn’t it speak volumes the staff opted to ride a hurt TVD instead of Emory until they had no choice?

First half he was stepping into throws, 2nd half was literally all upper body he wouldn’t put any weight on it. Might have re injured it but we need to win these last 2
Yea and it seems like Louisville knew it, not saying they were tryin to hurt him but it just seemed like every other play he was getting hit or pushed downAgreed.
I was at the game. TVD scrambled for some positive yards early. Then in the second half he had several chances to gain yardage but he would had to take some contact. He chose not to. It was obvious to me that he was shying away from running in the second half.
An embarrassment to our local sports media. It took an ACC television reporter to break this important news.I don’t recall ever hearing what the extent of the injury was to his leg.

This!!! I agree with you it’s mind blowing to go with the injured player rather than a healthy young Emory or Jacurri. Jacurri gets us that TD at the end of today’s game. Situational awareness was not a part of this coaching staff vocabulary this season and today it got out of focking control. I can’t believe what focking idiots we have as coaches. Great Oline from the 3 yard line and they decided to pass. SMDHSurprised no ones really talked about this.
