The redshirt is off

[snoscythe]

For whatever inexplicable reason, Mangum was sent in to take the knee on the last play, ending the question of whether he will redshirt. Totally bizarre.

[Fido]

They already said they would not redshirt him this year. This was the first game I remember seeing Hinds get into the game and make a play with his reception.

[BroncoBot]

makes absolutely no sense unless he's the new starting qb for the back 9 of the season...

agree. very odd.

[Cougs_Rule]

Agreed. Weird. But so was the end of first half clock management. Kalani lucky they get that fg. Otherwise he could have looked a little rookie.

The redshirt was never on. Ty Detmer and Tanner Mangum made that clear in fall camp.

[Ygridiron4ever]

I do not question Tanner's stance on not taking a redshirt.

BUT......

1 - If he never played a down this year he still wouldn't have to take a redshirt.

2 - if he did earn, request, and was given, a redshirt, he wouldn't have stick around an extra year and use it.

The future is not set in stone......It's all about options, baby!

So it seems a little odd to throw away the "option" on a single knee.

Just me.

[BroncoBot]

If nothing else, he's committed now. so be it.

[frdbtr]

I wanted them to preserve the opportunity too but obviously there was never even an option for it in the mind of Tanner and the coaches.

My father-in-law told me he already took his redshirt year before his mission and that's why he was never going to redshirt this year, because he already used it
