In the Deed the Glory Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Former walk-on's first start on the road and the injured starter and leader is not on the trip? He couldn't have helped Ryker on the sideline? Riley said they take 70 that can play. You don't think Tommy being there isn't more important than the 70th best player on the team. I don't understand that. At all. 3 Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Im still trying to find the exact rule. Does a non-dressed injured player count towards the 70? Cuz i think the answer to this is pretty telling as to whether this is significant or not. Quote Link to comment

I would still find a way to get him there even if it makes them short an OL (which they don't rotate anyway). Quote Link to comment
HuskerNBigD Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Help him how? It's not like tommy was going to hold his hand and tell him not to throw 4 ints. Laughable that this sh#t gets brought back on tommy. You've got to be effing kidding me. Quote Link to comment
HuskerNBigD Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 To follow, if he's got a jacked up foot maybe the docs and/or coaches didn't want him traveling, causing unnecessary walking? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I'm with ya OP. Having that experience and leadership on the sideline is way more important than the 70th guy that could actually play. Something is seriously f'd up with this team. Of course that is the understatement of the year at this point. 3 Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 they cleared it up on 1620. He woulda counted towards the 70 limit, unless they get a waiver. they chose not to pursue the waiver. They needed all 70 in uniform. Do with it what you will. Quote Link to comment
In the Deed the Glory Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 Wow. Never mind. Guess I haven't seen this hundreds of times from an injured QB on the sidelines. I bet Tommy wanted to be there. Some of you don't understand the value of a leadership amongst amateur athletes. Quote Link to comment

They needed all 70 in uniform. Do with it what you will. Count, pretty sure only underclassmen count to the 70 in this conference. Injured seniors do not. Its a stupid rule. And I agree he should have been there regardless. Quote Link to comment
Dansker Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Wow. Never mind. Guess I haven't seen this hundreds of times from an injured QB on the sidelines. I bet Tommy wanted to be there. Some of you don't understand the value of a leadership amongst amateur athletes. Some of us do. I remember when Frazier was on the sidelines with his blood clot. Had he not been there for his team emotionally, there's no telling what could have happened. Quote Link to comment

I think people are saying the coaches chose player #70 over the possible leadership, experience, and advice that TA could have helped Fyfe with. I think those people are correct to question that decision. Quote Link to comment
