Etc.
Texas Christian senior defensive end Mike Tuaua and freshman receiver Andre Petties-Wilson are already reinstated and eligible to play against Texas on Saturday. The players were arrested a couple weeks ago on charges of robbery-bodily injury after another TCU student told Fort Worth police investigators the players stole a clear case of beer while attacking him with the exceptional friends. The players missed the final three games as soon as the Sept. 4 incident. Coach Gary Patterson said the squad had "gone from the judicial process," although a Fort Worth police spokesman said true hasn't been given to Tarrant County prosecutors.
Southern's Devon Gales is good spirits despite a paralyzing neck injury, someone of the family said Thursday. Gales broke his sixth cervical vertebra while blocking with a kickoff return in Saturday's game at Georgia. Though his body motion is limited mostly to wrists, shoulders and biceps, Gales is telling members of the family and friends he hopes to produce a full recovery. Spinal cord specialist Brock Bowman, Gales' attending physician with the Shepherd Center, expects he will be hospitalized at the least eight weeks.
