Whitfield... he did alright I guess... for a freshman... that had never played corner... in teh season opener... in front of 90k fans... on the road... against the team that played for the national championship last year...

i guess...

And had an interception...at the goal line...to stop an LSU drive.

Actually, if we want to talk about true freshmen who played, as the title of this thread says . . . Kenny Buyers was the only one.

Actually, I'm not certain whether Buyers qualifies as a true. He spent last year as a walkon before earning his scholarship. Had he been on scholarship I know that he would be considered a redshirt freshman. Can you stay on the scout team for a year or more and still have five years to complete your four years eligibility?

Eligibility starts the second you enroll full time in school. You have 5 years, including redshirt, to play 4 seasons ; walk-on or scholarship- makes no difference.

      G5s Finally Getting Together......Talking About Their Future

      But I don't see this a move down....more of a "not moving up" For this to take shape, you have to assume that the "highest official classification" is going to change. It's gonna be 30-40 teams. This isn't like going FCS in the '80s. It's not even close....the entire landscape has changed. NIL, transfer portal, ESPN, media.....nothing today resembles 1988. The "highest official classification" is just a label. It's unofficially the SEC/Big 10 now...even the Big 12 is not stable...P5 is going to P2. We have to stop thinking that because an Oregon State has "always been a Power conference school" that they will continue to be one. Boston College? SMU? LOL. The math has changed. Alabama, Ohio State and Texas are so far removed from the lower P5s and G5s that snow ball is moving at warp speed down the mountain. Them along with ESPN run college football now and what they want, they will get. I don't think Ohio State really cares about Washington St.... We (current G5 plus the P5 "hanger ons") aren't going to be able to keep up with this new world... I think this proposal is a new classification...not moving down to an existing one. Just my humble opinion....

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      Sigh. I don't want you to take this the wrong way but this might be most ill-informed and ignorant take on the current ACC situation I've seen yet. And that's saying something. FACTS: You need a majority of schools to vote to dissolve the conference. Well, you just added three sure-fire "NO" votes in CAL, SMU, and Stanford. Now tell me. Where are you going to find the other votes needed to dissolve the conference? Duke? Nope. WF? Nope. Miami? Nope. PITT? Nope. Louisville? Nope. Georgia Tech? Nope. Syracuse? Nope. Boston College? Nope. Notre Dame? Nope. Virginia Tech? Nope. I realize you hate SMU and that the G5 split that's coming sucks but c'mon man.
