Autry is a part of it.
Don't forget we got Story back today and he played too. Wether that helps or hurts your argument idk, just thought I'd add it to the speculation. And Dolla Bill has 4 to play, but remained suspended. So that's two additional OL we have, but left DB on the suspension.
I guess we will definitively know by midseaosn because if Autry starts the next five well...
I'm going to guess that Autry isn't a part of tutor gate.
Oddly enough the speculation of all of this is kind of fun. And I hope we never have to deal with this again.
I was shocked honestly. But w the injuries and lack of inexperienced guys on dL and throw in the potential lack of depth this week at ol( meaning moving Jackson to c) i get it. Most don't like it. But I understand what they are trying to do, under terrible conditions for a staff
We seem to had an unusual number of players dropping left and right after just two games. Think our S&C and summer workouts have been up to par?
Is it possible that Autry doesn't really care about getting a master's degree, so he just asked to play in the next 4 games and then he can withdraw from school and focus on the NFL draft?
You play him against USM, K State, KY and Auburn. Those are the 4 run heavy teams that we have the best chance of beating with him. Plus it gives your younger guys time to get more experience and gets you out of the extreme heat with another dL body.
I don't know, I just wonder if a guy who cheats on a 1000 level course is cut out for grad school. Not trying to insult his intelligence or his work ethic, but the grad school professors aren't going to coddle athletes like undergrad ones do. Could be that Autry realized that he just doesn't want to be a master's student (maybe over the last week) so we're going to go ahead and get his 4 games in and then let him withdraw.
Again, just speculation on my part, but it would make a reasonable explanation of why he played yesterday.
That makes no sense because he doesn?t have to go to school now. He can quit going to class and the first time he?ll be ineligible will be the bowl game.
There are only 5 possibilities for autry playing yesterday (not all of which are mutually exclusive)
1) his suspension is not 8 games.
2) the coaches decided that we are bad enough and UT, UM, and Ark are bad enough that USM was one of our four swing games. This would probably require that we are writing off LSU, Bama, Auburn, Abilene Christian, UT, Ark, UM, UK as either unwinnable of unloseable with or without autry. I seriously doubt that?s the case.
3). The coaches think younger players will be equal or better than autry by the time we get to the second half of the season.
4) We don?t actually get the flexibility people have claimed when determining who is suspended.
5) Our coaches are morons.
