Apparently GSU QB Kevin Ellison has been suspended for the first two games.

Never heard of an academic suspension under a semester, strange.

Yeah, if he's academically ineligible per the NCAA, how does he get eligible again by mid-September?

He didn't take enough classes last fall, but made up for it in the spring and/or summer.

hasn't been a very good camp for GS, they have lost their starting DE, backup DE, and now their starting qb for 2 games. Of course GS fans have already rationalized that they really didn't need either DE, and their 2nd string qb is just as good, if not better than Ellison, so no problem beating WV
