The participation chart is not always accurate. It says that Braxton Lewis played, but I don't think that he actually did. I don't remember seeing Treiber in there at all, but I wasn't really paying attention on special teams all that much.
Braxton Lewis definitely played unless there is another 33.

Updated. Kym-Mani King is no longer eligible for a redshirt. I still don't get why both running backs are playing. IMO one of them needs to redshirt. There's no sense putting either of them into a game for a play or two, right?
Updated for the TCU game? I'm not seeing it.

When CMC was at Toledo didn't he use two backs routinely and maybe he is wanting to go in that direction now that he has the talent. Maybe it's a use them or lose them scenario or we have talent coming in so might as well use them - I choose to trust CMC.

Sometimes used three if they were ready.

Mani-King is playing the season out at this point. Good for him. Can never have too much talent in DBs.

Our RB situation has officially come to a head with Hall at 4 GP and Brock at 3. My guy feeling is that Brock sits and Hall plays more, but honestly, I'm not opposed to shirting both at this point. It certainly feels like Lang has been our premier performer this season.

I assume I'm totally off here, but I wonder if it has anything to do with the recruitment of Miyan Williams... Maybe with Brock and Hall burning the year it gives better chance of keeping Williams?

Sounds like a good question for the call-in show tonight.

I believe four running backs will play especially as nagging injuries develop. Who does everyone think they should be?
