Joc Bruce

[MTBig Blue]

Noticed I didn't see him on the field last week which was a surprise considering how well he was playing in fall camp. Just saw a tweet saying he wishes he could play Saturday. Any idea what's going on with him? Injury?

Not sure if this link will work on my phone but he's tweeted that he's redshirting.

Ummm???

i dont see this ending well. kid seems to have a lot of growing up to do

 

[bluefutcpa]

@ Wiley I agree. He seems like a whinner to me. Take the red shirt, get stronger, and be quiet.

Getting redshirted is a blessing for both the player AND the team, but most of these young kids will never see it that way. Selfish, selfish, selfish.

Kids will say anything on Twitter to their boys. Seriously doubt anybody on the staff kept him in the dark about anything..

 

[MTBig Blue]

I tweeted Connor Grotto about it and he made it sound like that was the plan all along.

 

[BlueRaider95]

FWIW Bruce is in the box score from today's game as making a tackle.

 

[C-Bow]

He could play today and still technically redshirt if I'm not mistaken?

He could play today and still technically redshirt if I'm not mistaken?

Yes. I believe that is correct. I think the magic number is 30% (or thereabouts) of the number of games, but the last game the player participated in must be before week 5 (I think). Like most NCAA rules, there's a lot of ifs and buts

He was not wearing pads, so the official scorer made a mistake. He was in shorts and jersey the entire game.
