Zollers redshirt

[11WSChamps]

you can tell whose actually COACHED FB offenses and who hasn't by your comments. Only a MORON would NOT get your backup QB into the early games when he is basically your only option.

Yeah you sure can.

Let context be your friend.

I was thinking Zollers could still save his redshirt but just looked and he had a little action in 2 early games. Action in 5 total now. He burned the RS right or am I not up on the rules?

With portal and NIL it really doesn’t matter anymore.

But does that essentially waste a year of his eligibility?

Not really. Once Horn went down, it was imperative that Zollers get snaps in those blood donors games. Unfortunately, Mizzou didn’t take advantage of those opportunities by restricting the plays they allowed Zollers to execute to handoffs and a couple of passes to the flat. They should have allowed Zollers to run the same plays as Pribula. ND just laid 70+ on Syracuse. It’s one thing to run up the score with your starters. It’s another to get your backups critical experience. Besides, blood donors are paid to, well, bleed and bleed a lot.

Notre Dame did that to score points withe CFB committee to try and ensure a playoff spot or enhance their seed.

Miami did the same by throwing a last second TD pass although they were already up two scores against Virginia Tech.

As far Zollers running plays against cupcakes. That would prove nothing against an inferior team defense.

He sees much better athletes on the other side of the ball in practice.

In practice, he’s wearing a red jersey. Practice is not the same as game experience. There aren’t 62,000 fans in the stands (ok, 45,000 by the time he’d get in). If experience against blood donors doesn’t prove anything, why play them in the first place? Apparently, they prove nothing for the starters, either.

Throwing a couple of passes against Central Ark. in August or early September isn't going to prepare him for Texas A&M in November.

agree. but then Horn ran straight the middle and was finish for the year......
