They played him in 5 games, the fifth one he did nothing but hand the ball off a few times and throw 1 or 2 passes. That is the point. They used his ability to redshirt last year over a few hand offs


that's exactly the point, and I noted that after the game. I was railed on pretty good, but emotions were pretty high at the time so I just dropped it.

You never know what will happen or how things will work out. I mean, it's possible Taulia (isn't Lia a girl's name?) plays because of unforseen injuries or transfers, then he plays lights out and becomes the starting qb and never relinquished that position. To lose a year for a few handoffs is just stupid.

If that happens those handoffs won't matter.

A player is NFL draft eligible after his class completes their 3rd year of college, not their 3rd year of playing.

Johnny Manziel and Jameis Winston were both redshirted and then went pro after their second seasons on the field.
