Notre Dame WR Floyd Likely Out For Season

Notre Dame's year of living dangerously just got slightly more dangerous:

Irish standout wide receiver Michael Floyd underwent surgery Sunday morning for a broken collarbone and is expected to miss the rest of the regular season.

Floyd was the "1" in the "1-2" wideout combo of Floyd and Golden Tate, the pair who combined have accounted for 659 yards of offense and 8 TDs on the season. Taking Floyd out of the lineup evaporates 119 yards of offense a game, and instantly weakens the efficiency of an offense heavily dependent on the deep ball.

It also means those of you looking for a bone labeled "Charlie Weis is OMG IN TEH TROUBLE !1!!!1!" to chew on just found one to gnaw on for the next week or so, since Weis is in year five of his coaching internship at Notre Dame, and is generally considered to be on the hot seat. (For the fifth year in a row. Coaching is fun!)
