Some Red Shirts to get Playing Time
- Thread starter Woodie_rivals56930
- Start date
Closer to the football on every snap the less you want to play them as freshmen.
Not saying everyone because there are some rare occurrences but you can't throw kids out there to compete against grown men unless they are a lot more physically developed than their age. If they were like a Dante Stills they would already be playing.
But....with this new redshirt rule conventional football wisdom goes out the window.
This is the usual order
WRs and DBs
Then RBs and LBs
Then TEs and QBs
Then DE and OT
Then the Interior Line.

Brown is a JUCO OL so he is a little older. Dont know his age but he is not out of HS so physically he is more advanced. Don't know if he played one or two years of JUCO FB.
Our safety depth is not good especially with Pitts questionable for Baylor.
Brown, whose older brother Joe was West Virginia’s Week 1 starter at right guard, finds himself moving up the depth chart as the season progresses. They both came from Eastern Arizona Community College. The are of need is Right guard.
“Mike Brown had his best week of practice,” Holgorsen said. “He gets his pads low and gets after people.”
