One of the few good ideas the NCAA has had in recent years is to update the redshirt rule allowing players to play four games while still not losing a year of eligibility. Loosening the hardline restriction now allows coaches to give their youngsters a taste of collegiate football action while still giving them an extra year to develop before being asked to take on more responsibility. The key though is to make sure you count the games played correctly...
Anyway with 5 games in the books it felt like now would be a good time to take a closer look at who is and who isn’t in line for a redshirt.
