USF senior defensive end Julius Forte had minor knee surgery to clean up injury. Taggart still hopeful he can play in opener in 2 weeks.

Hopefully this isn't a sign of practicing to hard, jut freak injuries.

Sometimes I think I played better with a slight injury because I could not think about anything else. It just helped me to focus.

I like to think of this as the difference between being "hurt" and being "injured".
