Do you go with Johnson and burn his redshirt again, or do you go with Etheridge since the came is going to be completely out of hand? I'm on board with Johnson being the true second string and thus benefiting the most from some snaps, but do you really think he's going to be pushed harder in a game against NSU than he is in practice everyday? I think I'd vote to save his redshirt, but that's just me.

Thoughts?

It's not just you. I'm on the redshirt train. I like him so much I want an additional FULL year of him. I would of loved to had an additional year out Rascati, Landers, Lee and Schor.

People won't like this and the coaches might not admit this, but I'll bet they want to give him the opportunity to be POY which will mean allowing him to get the vast majority of snaps in every game.

Beyond the redshirt, which would be great for Johnson and our team down the road, POY is another excellent reason I hadn't considered to keep Schor in. Clearly Briscoe will have big stats again this year just due to the weak competition in the SLC.

I think Schor has a shot at the NFL with a good year, and anything we can do to help him get more honors and improved stats is good for both him and us. Just hope he keeps himself safe and injury free in the process.
