November 8, 2009 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - As if a four-interception night couldn't be any worse, Florida State quarterback Christian Ponder has separated his throwing shoulder.After throwing an interception along the sideline, a frustrated Ponder was determined to make the tackle. He threw himself into Clemson safety DeAndre McDaniel, resulting in a powerful collision. Ponder struggled to his feet and showed signs of pain after making the tackle. He then headed over to the sideline before leaving for the locker room. On the following drive, redshirt freshman E.J. Manuel entered the game. Ponder did not return. During postgame interviews, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Jimbo Fisher delivered the news. "He's banged up," Fisher said. "Looks like he might have a separated shoulder. Looks like his [right] shoulder is separated." Coming into the game, Ponder was already suffering from a rib contusion. With the addition to a possible separated shoulder, Fisher may have to turn Manuel for the remainder of the season. But before making the decision, a more thorough assessment of Ponder's condition will have to be made. "We will have to evaluate it and see what happens," Fisher said. "I mean he has bruised ribs and a separated shoulder." Even after fighting through all the pain from both injures, Ponder still took the blame for the offenses performance during the 40-24 loss in Death Valley. "(I) am definitely disappointed," Ponder said. "A lot of it fell on me. We had a chance to win the game and I didn't come through." |
