New Redshirt rule

This makes things interesting. Will we see frosh RBs, safeties, DBs and LBs playing more STs as we get deeper into the season?
It will be interesting to see if they plan out games to play in or they play in the last 4 or how they will use the FR.
At one time the rule was that they could play a certain small percentage of the total season clock. My question then goes to.....how much of those 4 games can they play. Can they play the entire game in each of their 4 games. No matter what the answer to that is, I really think that for once the NCAA got it right. I haven't said that often in my nearly 61 years here on earth. The great coaches will take full advantage of that. I am hoping that Stoops does too. Not a snub at Stoops but so far he hasn't earned that high of praise from me
It is not clear from the article if players can play four complete games, or if they can play In four games. The title says "Players can now play up to 4 games without burning a redshirt." The articles says "Division I football players are now allowed to play in up to four games in a season while keeping a redshirt."
Unless the rule states a snap limit per game, I would think it means the player can play as many snaps as a coach wants in up to four games. that makes more sense. It could be a bookkeeping nightmare to keep track of snap counts or percentage of season game time for the redshirt players.

Yep. Great selling points to 5* kids that are thinking about schools like Bama. This rule will help the heavy hitters because now they can promise 5* guys snaps mo matter how many 5* guys are in front of them.
Or any part of a game...... 1 snap or 50... counts as one game, by my understanding.
As USMC mention, I like the plan of using one to replace someone while he heals up.
I love this for our RB rotation.
We got 3 upperclass RBs in Snell, King, and Rose.
Add Rodriguez and Smoke to those guys, yeah I'm digging it.

I don’t believe there’s a negative aspect to the rule change. It would be swell if they could make it retro active to any players that burned a redshirt by playing four games or less with eligibility left.
I'm the same way.... however....... depends on how it is handled by coaches.
