I saw that he got in for a few plays yesterday. Did they burn is RS? I am surprised that they played him. Any thoughts?

he didn't play enough to lose red shirt

there is a percentage of plays allowed before the red shirt is considered spent...not sure the number, but it isn't uncommon to see red shirts get 10-15 snaps in the first 2 games against the "sisters of the poor"

Absolutely incorrect. You play 1 down and you lose your RS!***

With our lack of depth at running back I doubt a redshirt...

is in the plans for Zac Brooks. We lose AE after this year, and DJ Howard and Hot Rod are just change of pace backs not starters. Brooks is a guy that has the ability to be a starter, so with losing AE after this season we need him ready for next season to be able to step in and play already having some experience.

Brooks

Dabo and Morris said months ago that brooks would not redshirt. Try said he was too good not to play. Also depth is a question next year. I wouldn't call Howard a change of pace guy he is essentially ellingtons twin. Also McDowell is finally showing signs and hopefully can come on next year also. Brooks is more of a Change of pace guy and weighs about a buck fifty right now.

Brooks weighs 195. And DJ Howard is not Andre Ellington's...

"twin", if he was he would have played a whole lot more last year. And why do you think AE got a majority of the carries against Auburn? DJ Howard is a hard worker and I love the effort he gives, but he is by no means in AE's league.

Howard is only a sophomore

He is on the same path as Ellington but its hard to take snaps away from a senior who came back for another year with the team. When given the chance Howard has been impressive averaging over 5 yards a carry last year with most snaps coming against auburn, UNC and GT. he had 9 attempts for 86 yards last year vs auburn. When he gets his chance I expect him to impress.

Yes he lost his RS, but that was the plan.

They never said he would RS. It's pretty tough to get through an entire season without a RB injury. I'm sure he'll be needed later on this season.

He has burned his RS. Once he played 1 play he burned it unless an injury occurs. Then the coaches can request a medical RS. As long as he hasn't played more than a third of the season.

Zach didn't show a whole lot yesterday. He struggled to hit the hole and averaged less than 2 yds / carry. He is slight in build and will hopefully get stronger with a good training program. We need some solid depth at RBI.

They burned a few others yesterday ....

coaches know what they are doing ,but as a fan, it is a little frustrating at the end of a season to see where a RS was burned on a few handful of plays
