yep. you can't chance the cupcakes early just in case Burrow goes down.



If Burrow goes down late, we'll want Brennan to have gotten some experience in games this year before he goes against SEC defenses.

you know... I'm changing my answer to this.

Not playing QBs for meaningful snaps when they could, early, for backup AND future development purposes was something I criticized Miles for heavily. 2011 Mett is a good example, because he struggled in 2012 and set records in 2013... what might have been in 2012.

What I suggested is exactly that. So y'all have convinced me: to hell with the redshirt, play Brennan every chance you get.

To add to that his weight means nothing as far as playing time considering he's exhibited plenty of arm strength as the skinniest of white boys. It is a non-factor as far as ability. Durability is another story... but we are talking a backup role here.

It's not like he's never taken college snaps before. You don't potentially burn his redshirt in fricking garbage time
