Pitt has to burn redshirt on QB for final play of game because of helmet rule

Prime example of the idiocy of the NCAA. Why wouldn't you put a qualifier in there whereby if you only have to see the field for 1 play specifically due to a rule designed with safety in mind, that you don't burn a redshirt for it?

Dumb, dumb, dumb.

There was another QB available on their sideline. If they were honestly worried about his redshirt, they could have sent in a different guy

Because someone would use and take advantage of that rule.

Why does the article keep saying “have to burn redshirt”? Since when are you required to put anyone on the field? They CHOSE to burn it. Put someone else out there if you want.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Go Wildcat for a play.

This might also mean that they expect to have to use the freshman QB in more games. Which would indicate that Browne is out for a while (separated shoulder?).

There are a million hs qbs on a p5 roster. If they wanted to really ltrserbrthe preserve shirt, there were alot of options, especially in an impossible situation with under a minute left.

Yeah, I mean, there are like 80 guys.

Nah, that's way over thinking it. How many times has this happened?

 

[Townie72]

With Browne hurt, there is no way his redshirt would not be burned anyway.

By intentionally having a player take his helmet off?

Come on. You could police that too if you wanted. It's just lazy.

Broken arm was what it seemed
