    Yes, I think that is exactly how it would be handled. CK would try and save their redshirts unless he really needs them to start. Doesn't want to waste them on mop up duty that Hawkins and Haines can handle.

    yeah I'm hoping so too, especially considering if we cant redshirt Rodriguez, that puts both him and MM in the same class still. Although I guess he could always redshirt his Soph year like DT did.

    This is sounding hopeful anyway. I would love for BB to stay at least one more year. CK must of worked his magic!!

    It's unfortunate if he's staying now. Chip Kelly must have really spread some bullshit.

    Adam Jude ‏@A_Jude Bryan Bennett now telling Oregon people he is staying "for sure," The Oregonian has learned.

    I would never accuse the Ducks of something like that.

    I feel sorry for him. I wanted to see him go somewhere and be happy and get to play. I wonder of Kelly refused to let him out of his scholarship.

    I'd say the odds are 50/50 he winds up with more snaps than Mariota.

    Re: is Bennett still a Duck???

    I couldnt imagine being an athlete in this day and age when everyone is a "reporter"

    The kid obviously was having a difficult/bad day, and who here wouldnt? 1000+ miles away from family, 19/20 years old, and you hit a samoan sized speed bump, in one of your biggest dreams.

    Then you read stuff about people questioning his character and how selfish he is(not here... although I can bet a former poster or two would have referred to Bennett as a "Whore" yesterday), when he is obviously torn with a life altering decision of "Do I gamble my future and stay here, but risk not playing much, severly diminishing my chance at the NFL? Or do I leave a place that I want to be (Assuming that since he chose to stay) and do what could possibly be best for me?

    this wouldnt even have been an issue publicly 5 or so years ago even.

    hell of a lot of respect gained for this kid. He has faced the music and some tough questions. Some mental toughness for him for sure! Lucky and glad to have him on the team!
