3rd string WR and 2nd string Saftey suspended for Carolina's 1st 3 games of season..


Well it looks like Carolina will have to try to beat Miss St, UGA, and Wofford without 2 of their backups.

In a media conference today Spurrier stated that Noah Whiteside and Ty Erving will be suspended for the first 3 games of Carolina's opening season.

"Noah is not academically eligible yet," Spurrier said. "He's worked pretty hard in the off-season."

Erving was arrested in April, 2005, for simple possession of marijuana in the Five Points area the night after the spring game. Erving was with former Gamecock player Josh Johnson when he was arrested, Brown was kicked off the team soon after. Erving petitioned for the Pre-Trial Intervention program earlier this year.

Whiteside, a senior, career stats are as followed.. 32 catches for 518 yards and 3 TDs in 3 seasons.

Erving, a junior, saw no action on the field until the 2005 season where he had 6 solo tackles and 2 assist tackles.

This was not a shock to anyone on either players parts, in fact they both are lucky they weren't suspended for the entire season. Especially Erving.

They have poor work ethic along with other problems. They are two of the many low character players picked up during the Lou Holtz era. It was only a matter of time for both of them.
