"Everyone I talk to, there’s really not a certain timeline for as soon as I’ll be back,” Bradford said. "There’s been so many different numbers. I think the main thing is I have to get healthy before I can play again.”
Bradford spoke earlier in the week with Eli Manning, who suffered the same injury and played again in 10 days before leading the New York Giants to the Super Bowl. However, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith suffered a grade-three separation and the initial diagnosis was no surgery would be needed. He didn’t play again in the 2007 season and underwent surgery in the offseason.
Bradford did say he could throw a ball if he wanted to, but doing so would be extremely painful.
Fear the ’stache
Landry Jones’ national television debut featured a cameo appearance that drew mixed reviews: his mustache. At least one group of students showed their support for the facial hair on Saturday, sporting fake mustaches and "Fear the ’Stache” shirts. Jones completed 18 of his 32 passes for 286 yards and three touchdowns, all to Ryan Broyles.
Owens out
Sophomore receiver Jameel Owens did not dress for the game. Owens had missed practice earlier in the week. Rumors of his transfer leaked earlier in the week, but Owens’ family said on Friday he has no plans to do so.
