Inquiring minds want to know. Didn't see him, but heard rumors he might in the pregame press.
Offensive line coach Jeff Grimes said Sunday the chances of true freshmen Ryan Miller and Kai Maiava making their college debuts Saturday against Miami (Ohio) have improved.
I would be shocked if he is ready. O-Line is the toughest position to come in and play well. You have to be a man, so to speak. Not that Ryan Miller isn't but he will be much more of a man, say 35 pounds more, next year. I say, don't blow his redshirt, give him time to develop and then unleash a beefed up stronger version next fall!I think he should play if he's ready. The time for saving players is over. If he's the best option for the team, for God's sake put him in there. Get him some game experience.
I am with wyo keep the redshirts on:
Simas, Miller, Tau
It will help us in the long run
Yep unless they are a huge upgrade over whats there now, keep the redshirt on them.
Why isnt Faatagi playing? academics?
He finished a 6 week long summer school class in 2.5 weeks, but the prof won't grade his work until it's due, so he gets to wait. Granted, he shouldn't have waited that long to take the course, but it's pretty weak on the part of the professor.

I think I read something that said under the rules the prof can only grade a certain amount of work per week. For instance if it's a 6 week course they can only grade through week 3 after the third week and so on. So under the rules, I don't think he has a choice.

That's how some of those classes work. Not much the prof can do in that case.
How ya feeling? Did your hangover sneak up on you, too?:smile2:
IN a way it's the coaching staff's fault that we are so small on o-line numbers. They had 3 or 4 guys leave when Hawk came on board and should have gone the juco route for at least 2 or 3 of them last year...they didn't need to be stars we just needed live bodies that had some experience
The guys that walked were never going to see the field which is why they walked. Our history of getting jucos qualified sucks, how much time and effort should the coaching staff put into those kids vs chasing the younger stars?
well we'll see...I bet if a couple of hogs go down this year the coaches would have wished that they spent a bit of their time securing some JUCOs until they built up 3 or 4 recruiting classes.
