McClain?

I noticed that he wasn't on the field in the 2nd half, anyone know if he is injured? Also what is going on with Stirrups?

THIN AT DT: USF got so thin at defensive tackle in the second quarter that Leavitt turned to freshman Anthony Hill, who was redshirting and made his season debut in the 10th game of the season.

The Bulls played without junior Leslie Stirrups (elbow) and when starter Terrell McClain injured his neck, he turned to Hill, a Pensacola native who joined the Bulls in January.

"He's one of the freshmen we didn't want to play, wanted to redshirt, but obviously we couldn't," Leavitt said. "We felt this was too important."

Hopefully mcClain is ok for UM, the rotation of McCaskil, Harris and Hill is not very strong.

Update:

STRONGER LINE: Redshirt freshman DT Cory Grissom should be able to play Saturday after being nagged by a left ankle injury. Leavitt said DL Anthony Hill and DT Leslie Stirrups (elbow) both practiced Monday and he would review the tapes from practice and assess if they are game ready.

An article in the St Pete Times this morning mentioned that Stirrups, Grissom, McClain and Harris all returned to practice.  That's a good thing.  The D line will need to play well against Miami.

thanks for the info guys, it will be nice to have Grissom for the Uconn game also.

Dline needs to be at full strength
