Redshirt Rule and Key

[G-Dawg]

Haven't seen a post about this but I was curious why we brought Key in for that last series to mop up and not let Fitz hand off and take a knee. Now Key has a appeared in 2 games. Maybe the staff has already decided our #1 and #2 QBs are going to be available and no redshirt option even considered for Key. But if Fitz is healthy and plays the entire rest of the way, you could keep Key around for another year.

JoMo has already said they aren't going to try and redshirt him.

Ok. Thanks. This will be a short thread, then.

I'm not saying this is the case in this situation; however, redshirts are not always good. I used to think we should just redshirt everyone possible, but if you are planning on bringing in better talent, then a redshirt just ties up a scholarship for another year.
