Well, I heard from my uncle's cousin's neighbor's barber that he heard from his girlfriend's sister's nephew's bartender that that is probably 1003% right.
They both have 3 games to play 2 and keep their redshirts, bowl games don’t count.
We have 4 left not 3 before a potential bowl game. I don't think they will worry too much about a redshirt, if they feel like the freshman are their best options they will play them.
Math is hard when I have to count higher than 2.
If you haven’t been paying attention, redshirts have zero significance anymore. It’s 5 years to play 5 years.
If you haven’t been paying attention, that is not yet the rule. And it may be tabled for 2 years or more.
This is Pavia’s 6th year as a starting college QB.
This is Gronowskis 5th year as a full time player.
FWIW

There are many factors that go into hamstring injuries. What a lot of people do not know is the glutes play a major role in those injuries. Those muscles must act as a key factor in preventing strains. If the glutes are tight, you are more prone to pulling or even tearing your hamstring.
DT, for whatever reason, is great to have but dangerous to rely upon. He isn't a bell cow back; he appears to be the opposite. Even if technically available, he might well be on a pitch count and/or might be out of the game re-injured before the 1st Q is over. For practical purposes, the Gophs are without their planned no. 1 and no. 2 backs, and perhaps their planned no. 3 back (Cardenas, Vandy transfer), who left the team before the season started. Fame and Cam are both serviceable and can do the basic job. But if Ford and/or Washington are able to play the B1G game (I suspect one or both is), it is probably time to make them part of the offense, especially if they bring something different--speed, vision--to the game. We've got a great RB in the 2026 class already, and a long time to find more in HS or the Portal. The way the football personnel game is played now, it is foolish to keep a player who can help you out NOW off the field because he might be with you for only 3 instead of 4 more years.
I was at the game and can add a bit of information. Taylor warmed up normally as far as I saw and played some the first 12 minutes of the game, but not as heavy a rotation as you would expect (although we had the ball so little that I don't necessarily read much into that). His last play was the pick 6 towards the end of the quarter. He released out of the backfield and was open over the middle, but the ball didn't come to him. After the pick, he was engaged by a blocker at about the 15 yard line and pushed toward the goal line before tumbling backwards at about the 8. The blocker had momentum at engagement and controlled Taylor, but neither the hit nor the fall seemed particularly violent and on replay it didn't seem that he hit his head when he fell. Didn't notice that he was slow to get up or notice any struggle to get off the field, but I wasn't watching for that either. In any event, he didn't play after that, but remained on the sideline and didn't seem to be distress.
Yep would be foolish to play them for 5-6 games and burn the redshirt over that
In the era of NIL and the portal, keeping a redshirt over playing someone who helps you win a game is foolish.
Yeah I saw him talk to the coach and pat his leg during the broadcast after her jogged to the sideline following his first carry of the game. I was like here we go again.
Do redshirts even matter anymore with the open portal?
