Is Victor Rudd playing aganist Memphis?

Define what you mean by playing.

 

Better yet, define what Stan means by practice, cause this "team" doesn't look like it's done any.

Jeff,

Ask the tough questions regarding Collins. He was medically cleared to play the Monday before the road game with Temple. He's not played. Why? Medical redshirt is nonsense. What's his issue?

Although he was "medically cleared" before Temple, he is still experiencing a lot of discomfort in his knee and it hasn't improved all season since the surgery over summer. Heath has said on multiple occasions he doesn't expect him to return because of this ... From what we have been told, he would rather play 100 percent without risking further damage than play at 40 or 50 percent and injure himself further and potentially hurt his career. The medical redshirt isn't nonsense. It's his decision whether he wants to play and, right now, he doesn't feel like he's ready to play in a game and he's eligible for it.

Although he was "medically cleared" before Temple, he is still experiencing a lot of discomfort in his knee and it hasn't improved all season since the surgery over summer. Heath has said on multiple occasions he doesn't expect him to return this season because of this which is why Josh Heath had his redshirt pulled ... From what we have been told, he would rather play 100 percent without risking further damage than play at 40 or 50 percent and injure himself further and potentially hurt his career. The medical redshirt isn't nonsense. It's his decision whether he wants to play and, right now, he doesn't feel like he's ready to play in a game and he's eligible for it.

what do you mean by medical redshirt isn't nonsense?  Is he still eligible for the redshirt?

Coach Heath said Rudd will play tomorrow vs. SMU. "Lost his focus" at Memphis, benching was coach's decision
