Literally went through the entire thread and no one said play Smothers. Unless I missed something. It's be said only a very few people in other threads at this point people would have rather seen Martinez finish out the year then move on and keep Smothers redshirt. So either burning his redshirt is a bonehead mistake or we have bigger issues.
Earlier in the season maybe cause I could see people thinking 4 maybe even 5 weeks ago we aren't going to make a bowl let's give Smothers experience and let's turn the page now. At this point I don't think anyone is thinking that, it's to late in the season and is now pointless to Burn Smothers redshirt for no reason.
It's really hard to believe we don't have anyone on the team better than Benhart it's actually pretty scary
This is false. McCaffrey didn't burn a redshirt. He redshirted in 2019 by playing in less than 4 games, and he got a free year in 2020.
Sorry, forgot to add the question mark behind that as I wasn’t sure if I was remembering correctly. I thought he came in for one play.
It’s very possible Adrian was going to be evaluated at halftime for the injury he took on the previous drive and Frost didn’t know if he would be available. Plus Smothers is the back up and gets all the practice reps behind Adrian. People are raging we didn’t put our 3rd stringer in there on our own 10?
I thought it was him too once you said it. It might not have a Qb or it might not have happened at all.
