  Need some feedback. He’s now played two games. With the title game and bowl game coming that makes 4. If he plays Saturday he will lose his redshirt year and basically would have p**sed away a season. Do you think Whitt sits him ?

  Post season has never counted toward redshirt in the past. Has that changed?

    I think it has. What I’ve seen is four games total. So he’d have to sit a game this season.

      What I’d do is play him vs BYU-P and if he doesn’t do much, sit him in the title game. If he blows up vs TDS, play him in the title game.
      
      If he blows up both games, then ask him what he wants to do for the bowl game.

        Play him. He’s got three more years. Play him. Give him the option and he’ll want to play. Let him. Throw to him. Play him.

  If he’s one of our best 4-5 receivers, he should play, for sure.

  I don’t believe we’ll see him this weekend. The other two games are more important in the grand scheme of things so this is the game to have him miss.

      Lol…you’re right but it was decided a few weeks ago if we won the South.
      
      He played last year so would only have 2 years left if he played in all 3. This is the one to miss.
      
      The kids are excited to play in this game but make no mistake they are definitely looking forward to the Pac12 Championship game…regardless of what anyone says to the media. They’ll come out ready and our starters will play as long as it takes to win. No one is worried about an injury…can’t play that way.
      
      Whit gave his annual speech yesterday…”we don’t lose to those guys” so we’ll be ready.
      
      Go Utes!

  Every single player on the team would blow a redahirt to play in the Rose Bowl.

      I may be wrong but I don’t think a bowl game counts towards that. We have seen players play in bowl games before that we didn’t see during the year.

        I believe that The new redshirt rule is 4 games including post season.

  How about Brumfield? I think he has now played in 4 games. Is he done for the season?

  I hope the team doesn’t get so involved in gaming the red-shirt rules that they miss out on the services of some great athletes. If he’s contributing already, play him and don’t worry about “burning” the red shirt. Burning a red shirt would be playing him for one or two series in 5 games. There are still 3 more years to play him and its “next man up” to give all to get to the Rose Bowl – and try to win it!

  Has Thompson been a factor at all?
