When a player starts his college football career, a team can decide to "redshirt" him giving him one more year of eligibility to play football. This is most commonly done if you have 2 freshman coming in to start at the same position. You only have room for 1 so you would redshirt the other giving him that extra year to play. If a player that is redshirted plays, then he loses his redshirt status and also loses that extra year of eligibility. Generally speaking you hear redshirt freshman and redshirt sophomore then it becomes 4th year junior and 5th year senior. When it comes to Luck, he was recruited to Stanford in 2008 and given the redshirt. 2009 he was a redshirt freshman but technically a sophomore. 2010 he was a redshirt sophomore but tecnically a junior. Since he was out of high school for 3 years, he was eligible for the draft. 2011 he is a 4th year junior but technically a senior and will graduate. I do believe that if he graduates, the only way to still play in 2012 is if he enrolls in grad school. Also a player can sometimes be granted a 6th year of eligibility by the NCAA and those would be medical redshirts but that is a whole different story... Orange27 –

So to expect our 4 down linemen to get penetration by themselves is ridiculous to me...not while we are lacking some talent in the middle. So, I would think that Mays and especially Miller could be used more aggressively. Sure Miller leads the team in sacks but I think we could lead the league if we find more and better ways to pressure with LBs and instead of playing them off so much. That's my point. You said it yourself the D-line is not getting there so be more aggressive. That's all.
