After the loss to Florida State, Anthony Richardson said something interesting in his postgame press availability when asked about his brief departure from the game: “it was my ankle, I’ve been battling that all year.”
It was a rare admission that AR was not 100% for much of the season. He did look about as healthy as he ever has in the opener against Utah, and the results were terrific. However on the second play of the game against Kentucky, he went down awkwardly while being tackled and came up hobbled. He rarely looked as he did in the Utah game from then on.
