Do you know if that is for players who actually take the field or is it for players who are just designated to dress? I'm thinking of Kurtis Rourke in this scenario. If he's named the back-up QB but does not take the field that often, can he keep his redshirt if he's the primary backup but stays on the sideline?

I think it is especially beneficial once we get into league play as some of the upper classmen suffer potential injuries. Hopefully the freshmen have been working hard up to that point and can be a contributor, even though they may be officially redshirting.

I think it is 4 games and I think dressing doesnt count as long as you dont go into the game. I can see Kurtis getting in a few of the preseason games if we have a good lead.

So if he truly earns the backup job, I'd expect the coaches would be very picky about putting him in to try to save that extra year.

College football does not have “preseason” games.

No, but we sure have plenty of petulant posts. "Pre-conference" games okay?
