Terence Garvin (knee) and Josh Taylor (knee) are both out for the Orange Bowl. Ditto Vernard Roberts, who is academically ineligible.

Garvin suffered cartilage damage against USF and has already had surgery. Rehab takes six months, so he’ll miss spring practice. Get to know Wes Tonkery, Shaq Petteway and Matt Moro.

Taylor missed three of the final four games with the knee injury. He missed one, tried to play the next and couldn’t go for long and then missed the final two. He was academically ineligible for last year’s bowl. He’s also a senior, so his career is over and he won’t get to play near home. Taylor made the trip from Miramar to WVU before Eu, Stedman and Ivan McCartney.

Roberts, you may have forgotten, started the second and fourth games, but was passed by Dustin Garrison and Shawne Alston and even Andrew Buie as the season progressed. Interesting to see what the future holds for him — remember, he was the starter in the spring and through camp. Combine this mishap with his brother, Vance, leaving the team and you do have to wonder.

It’s necessary to mention 42 players had grade-point averages at or above 3.0 in the fall semester. Fullback Ricky Kovatch, receiver Ryan Nehlen, long snapper Cody Nutter, linebackers Steve Paskorz and Casey Vance, walk-on quarterback Michael Burchett and walk-on running back Nate Majnaric all had 4.0s.
