I have to admit, I'm really not very familiar with this year's team despite being a season ticket holder. I just checked out last year and didn't really follow them as closely as I have in the past. Looking forward to getting to know more about the guys.

I think this is yet to be seen. Fickell doesn't have a track record to go on and he hasn't said anything publically. If I would have to venture a guess, based on other thing he has said and what he stands for, my guess is that CLF is the kind of coach that will play the best players regardless of class. While redshirting is not unique, most coaches don't just arbitrarily redshirt entire classes (the other exception we had under TT were thin position groups such as WR last year when he played Jerron Rollins and Thomas Geddis, or at LB were we were decimated by injuries and lifted Perry Young's RS).
