On first glance it sounds like a big deal: Florida’s star punt and kick returner Brandon James has a broken bone in his foot, and will be unable to play in the Sugar Bowl versus Cincy. James, mighty midget though he has been for Florida, has not been the dominating force he was in 2007 and 2008 for the Gators, returning zero punts for TDs this year and only one on kick returns.
His replacements, Jeff Demps and Chris Rainey, are both excellent returners, and are faster and better anyway, and am I as a Florida fan trying to talk myself into not panicking about this? Why, no! Why would I panic about losing the best punt returner in school history?

Maybe he broke his foot kicking Carlos Dunlap’s ass.
