Defensive Players being Red-Shirted?
Stayed for the entire game last night. On offense, I noticed we played nearly every offensive player that dressed for the game. We went WAY DEEP on the offensive depth chart. Defensively, we didn’t go nearly as deep...we stuck with a ton of regulars thru the end of the game. That may have led to Guillory’s (#98) late game injury. We did play some “3s” at CB and MLB but tons of defensive rotation guys played very late into the game. I suspect that’s because we regularly play a bunch of guys on D anyway and that we are probably planning to redshirt several defensive plays. Does anyone have a hunch as to which of the young defenders are likely to redshirt? By the way, I think both redshirt freshmen DTs (McCabe and Fiske) could be beasts in the future.

All of our freshmen on defense are redshirting: Kneeland, the three good backers, and the secondary. We are deep enough that none would get significant time, except for maybe Kneeland.

Would’ve been fun to see the Hackett and Portage Central kids out there.
