Holtz said tonight that 5th year senior QB Dondrial Pinkins (DP) will not be starting this week against USF due to a bruised shoulder. DP hasn't been able to throw all week and will probably play only if absolutely necessary.
True Sophomore Sevelle "Cadillac" Newton will be getting the starting nod in place of DP. Sevelle is a very similar type quarterback to DP in that he is very athletic and will run first and pass second. I think S. Carolina will have a very hard time moving the ball with Sevelle under center. This will be Sevelle's first start ever at QB for S. Carolina.
If Sevelle doesn't get the job done and DP can't play, Lou will then look to either RS FR Blake Mitchell (drop back passer) or senior juco transfer Mike Rathe (drop back passer).
