Prior to this setback, Taylor had emerged as a strong Heisman Trophy candidate. He had led the Bulldogs to an undefeated 4-0 start, throwing for 1,450 yards and 17 touchdowns in six appearances. Backup quarterback Parker "Billy" Puckett is expected to take over as the starter for the remainder of the season.
