Re: Flynn may not play. It's actually one of his strengths as a coach that I NEVER hear mentioned. He's crafty at keeping opponents off balance about who's playing/who's not and how he will use the offense against them. For our TFFL, it was difficult trying to guess which weapons of his that he'd use to attack each week's opponent and makes you realize two things: One, as I've said, how he keeps his cards close 2/ He does have choices- which speaks well of our roster. I only used "Saban" cause I thought someone had picked on you about bringing his name up a bit. :wink:
Suppose Flynn can't play. Perrilloux plays, gets hurt, can't continue. Who do you go with, Hatch or Lee? If you think Lee would give you the best chance to win, would you burn his red shirt for one game (the national championship)? Obviously I hope we don't get put in that spot. Maybe RP starts and Matt is sound enough to back him up for a quarter or two if necessary. If I was Lee, and I was needed to win a nat. championship, I'd jump in there. What say you? :geauxtige :crystal:
Didn't we have a player (DB???) burn a year of eligibilty recently, 2003 perhaps, to play in the SECCG?
From what I understand....a player may be granted a redshirt if he or she has participated in less than 10% of the season taking place in an academic year. So, I think Lee could play the whole game if needed and not burn his redshirt???
From Wikipedia..... There are many reasons a student-athlete may redshirt. A student-athlete may redshirt to gain a year of practice with the team prior to participating in competition. In football, a student-athlete may redshirt to add size prior to participating since football tends to favor larger players. Since the college years coincide with the typical completion of physical maturity, using a year of eligibility in the fifth college year is generally more beneficial to the team and to the student-athlete's potential professional prospects than it is to use the same year of eligibility in the first college year. Players, especially in football, may redshirt to learn the team's play book since college teams run more complex and more plays generally than most high school teams. In other cases, a player may be granted a redshirt if he or she has participated in less than 10% of the season taking place in an academic year. This rule is most commonly exercised in the Football Championship Subdivision of football (formerly known as I-AA). Commonly, an athlete will redshirt the first year of college, if the athlete is redshirting at all. Furthermore, I see... However, NCAA rules are quite clear on the use of redshirt status: any participation in any competition counts as a season of eligibility. For example, even a single play in a football game counts as participation, so coaches cannot play redshirt players at the end of a game simply to get them some experience. This contrasts with high school classifications of varsity and junior varsity, where JV players are sometimes allowed to play at the varsity level without using an additional year of eligibility.
I'd burn it without thinking twice cause I don't know how well he'll fit in Crowton's offense. He's a pro-style QB and not a dual purpose type. I haven't seen him play though and have no idea about his ability to run, his speed, etc. Anyone else see that too? Differently?
