Slapping a finger against a helmet is the paper cut of the football world. Of all the dangers in this world, it’s embarrassing to slice open your hand on a piece of paper. Likewise, in a sport where bodies are flying around at top speed on every play, it seems improbable for an injury to occur as a result of the helmet, something designed to eliminate injuries. This happened when Ryan Fitzpatrick, quarterback for the New York Jets, had to leave the game this weekend due to a hand injury caused by a helmet.

It was South Carolina's first game in over 10 years without Steve Spurrier, who resigned earlier this week, and nobody knew how the team would respond without the iconic Head Ball Coach.
Of course, the Head Ball Coach is well-known throughout the landscape of college football. Some know him as a Heisman winner, some as a national championship winner, some as a pioneer that helped make the SEC the elite conference that it is today, but to us here in South Carolina, he's known as something different.
At the University of South Carolina, we hired a man.
Saturday, the Gamecocks will march into Williams-Brice Stadium without Steve Spurrier for the first time in 11 seasons, after the former head coach announced his resignation this week.
Monday evening, Head Ball Coach Steve Spurrier became former Head Ball Coach Steve Spurrier.
The mood in the press room was dreamlike. Even just minutes before former head football coach Steve Spurrier took the stand to announce his resignation, it felt like the former Heisman trophy winner was playing some sort of elaborate joke on the media.
