Westin Elliott - Redshirt?
This may have been mentioned before. Danny K. mentioned last night that Westin was being held out of games so he could redshirt? Is this true and I've missed it completely?
Re: Westin Elliott - Redshirt?
Heard that. I just wonder was Danny saying that based on confirmation with staff.
Re: Westin Elliott - Redshirt?
I’m not sure why Tech would be redshirting a junior (at least I think he’s a junior based on an internet roster I saw). It’s not like we can play him for 3-4 more years. As it is now it seems like the only year he may get (?) is his fifth year and by then who knows what could happen. I think it’s far more likely that Holtz is using the redshirt excuse as a way to keep Elliot off the field and there by not reveal that he’s a ‘rock star buster’ and challenge J’Mar for the starting role.
Re: Westin Elliott - Redshirt?
Hey. Nate Cox took another snap. That's two for the year I believe. It looked like they were trying to fool FAU into thinking it was going to be a throw back to J'Mar so they could run the counter. It didn't work.
Re: Westin Elliott - Redshirt?
I said this on another thread. Didn’t even think about him being a junior, I believe.
Re: Westin Elliott - Redshirt?
He also has 4 games to play in w/out losing shirt
Re: Westin Elliott - Redshirt?
Yes the announcers on the TV said Cox is the “lost helmet QB” and comes in quickly to take the snap/hand off.
Then most shockingly they said Westin Elliot our number 1 backup QB is a redshirt this year!

Since Weston Elliott hasn't played a down this fall, won't he be in the position to play in our last 3 regular season games and our bowl game, and still not lose his red shirt? I think so. I think that's how it works, right?

Holtz hinted at that earlier in the year
Re: Westin Elliott - Redshirt?
So Elliott stays to sit on the bench next year ? I would leave there is no way I watch the offense and don't think I am a better option!

Holtz has a backup for the last 4 games. I think he will play him then

That is my thinking.

Tweaked his ankle early in the year but I really think Holtz is saving him with the new rule in mind
