boach_clack Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Burning POB's redshirt would be an absolute waste. We are trying to promote competition at the QB position. Think about this, if we burned his redshirt, he would be a soph competing against Tanner Lee. Lets say he loses (which is highly likely against a senior), he would go in to Fall 2018 as a junior. Let that sink in. 1 Quote Link to comment

Let that sink in. Tanner Lee is considered a junior eligibility wise. He was given an extra year of eligibility, so barring him leaving early for the NFL, he will be at NU through 2018. 1 Quote Link to comment
In the Deed the Glory Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I don't doubt they want to preserve the redshirt, and I would not say I wouldn't make the same call. However, it does stand to reason that you have to do whatever it takes to win that game. You still have a chance at a championship. I would be surprised if Tommy is out, Fyfe can't go, and Darlington is ineffective if they don't go with O'Brien in that situation. It makes me wonder some if the whole "we don't want to burn a redshirt" talk is cover for the fact that POB is not as good as those other guys right now. I really hope I'm wrong, and I also get the "keeping the redshirt" idea. Its just a thought that has crossed my mind this week. 1 Quote Link to comment
GBRHouston Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 It's not like they are in the same position where they were last year, where the Iowa game doesn't really matter. They NEED to win Friday. That being said, I have high hopes for Darlington. He's looked good the limited times I've seen him. If, however, he needs to be taken out by any means, they need to go with a real QB, which would be POB. Of course, I hope Tommy starts and we don't worry about anything. If Tommy starts, business as usual. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Last year's Iowa game was for bowl eligibility. That didn't really matter? 5 Quote Link to comment
dergibog Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I'm thinking hand-offs with Ryker's left hand will be difficult. Any runs to the right side of the offense will hurt like a mother. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I'm thinking hand-offs with Ryker's left hand will be difficult. Any runs to the right side of the offense will hurt like a mother. I don't think you'll see it, either TA is going to play or Darlington is going to play. Too many things can go wrong with Fyfe's wrist issue i.e. fumbling, handoffs, etc. Quote Link to comment

lo country Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I'm thinking hand-offs with Ryker's left hand will be difficult. Any runs to the right side of the offense will hurt like a mother. Great point. Didn't even think about handing off the ball, with a broken wrist that he just had surgery on Sunday......... Imagine the pain when he hands off. Quote Link to comment
