True freshmen: Photo Report (247)

Shouldn't blow the redshirts now, but would've been nice to see what Alex Davis and Neal could do at the defensive end position this year. We badly need playmakers there

 
If injuries force it, pull the redshirt off Davis as needed, IMO. He's been working with the top unit anyways and there are 6 games left to go.

Interesting to note: two other players (maybe more) are playing STs only duty, but without controversy. A DB and a LB.

It is too late in the season to blow a redshirt on any player that has a real chance to be especially good. We will need EVERY snap of talent in the next 4 years that every player we have can provide. Our cupboard is not bare but it is mostly empty. Finding enough starters next year and the year after will be very very difficult. I believe we need to be playing all the younger players and benching the seniors IF we don't win this week end in MINNE. Going 2-5 at that point means a bowl is almost impossible. Without a bowl, no extra practices. Time to play the younger guys and build experience. This year is LOST as far as any championships, or play offs or etc. A low tier bowl is doubtful if we lose. Next year begins on Sunday if we lose Saturday in my opinion. Seniors have had their chances for 4 or 5 years and at this point, can't do anything to help build for the future but give playing time to our youth.

 
You don't build a winning culture by saying "Aw, shucks. Too late to have a good record now. Let's mail it in."
