Rashad Lawrence is now probable for Saturday

A little game time is important. If he's absolutely ready, play him, at least a half.

pretty much sit all starters after halftime.

Unless we're clicking on both sides of the ball on Saturday (which would be awesome), I don't know that this would be one of those kinds of games. Utah State was 11-2 last year and scored 50+ points in 7 of their games (4 of those were 60+). They put up 31 on Michigan State who finished with the 8th ranked scoring D and lost their only two games by single digits.

They have a pretty big NFL prospect at QB and put up 35 on #20 Wake Forrest this year (which is the most Wake has given up this year) in their 5 wins. North Carolina only scored 18 on Wake. Utah State is 19th in scoring offense, 12th in passing offense, 24th in rushing offense and 9th in total offense. So they are actually a pretty good team and a nice test on defense going into the meat of our schedule.

if he is ready he needs some reps because sitting to long doesnt help very much either

You don’t just jump into the deep end. Get some work in, and let’s face it, if he or Chaisson get dinged up again, that’s just who you are at this point.

He should play some, but not as much as he normally would. It’s just as important to get reps, as it is rest as long as he’s close to 100%.

You've got to remember, a lot of fans on here don't keep up with college football

In my opinion, I wouldn’t risk him. Let him rest and continue to practice until Florida.

In a perfect world, he'd get between 10-20 snaps.

I definitely want him to get snaps unless he's not ready. You can't really know where you are unless you play. And, he needs to know what he can do heading into Florida.

THey also lost their OC to Texas Tech and only scored 24 on Sand Deigo State.

They're good for Utah State, but they aren't a consistent scoring team. They average 38.5 points a game, but they have only scored more than 35 once. THey will be a challenge for a Non-P5 OOC game but they aren't going to actually push us. They only put up 34 on Colorado State who gave up 52 to Colorado, 55 to Arkansas and 41 to Toledo

He should play a few series if he's able. Get him back up to speed before Florida.
