I'm afraid he's redshirting. (don't know the exact rules and if he could have played today and still redshirted.)

He has already played a few snaps in the Jackson St game...no RS for him

Was thinking the same. If you don't RS him, better give him some PT, otherwise, it's a waste.

Maybe the risk/reward wasn't there today. Play him and he gets hurt before the Big12 schedule starts it would suck. CGP has always been conservative, even with the 20 point lead. More so after 2014.

Remember UCLA vs Tex AM a couple weeks back? AM played a fresh for a few downs in the last half, and ended up losing a ridiculous comeback to UCLA.

Pretty sure that rule changed for this season. Hopefully someone can correct me.

I believe you can play in the first 4 games and still redshirt.

Y'all may be confusing straight redshirt with medical redshirt

He's the 2nd string QB. There was never any saving his redshirt. Back up quarterbacks have played a huge amount for TCU since our move to the Big 12.
2012- backup starts 9 games
2013- back up starts 6 games
2014- back up starts 0 games
2015- back up starts 2 games
2016- back up starts 1 game, and plays a huge amount in two other games (Texas and Texas Tech)
History says Robinson will be called upon to help us win games this year, likely in a starting role.

" players may be granted a general redshirt if he or she has participated in less than 10% of the season taking place in an academic year."

Nah...Glad Kenny got to go the distance. We need to get the offense clicking if we are going to stand a chance against the conference slate we have ahead. I want Kenny in a great rhythm and he got there today..He needs as many snaps as he can get if we are to win the Big12. If we drop a couple of games over the next 4-5 weeks then I'll change my mind

TCU is not red-shirting our 2nd string QB
This isn't the rule

I have never heard of a 10% rule. I looked on the NCAA website and it said a redshirt student athlete cannot play in ANY game.. If a player gets hurt towards the beginning of the season, they could be eligible for a medical redshirt

Right. Let's make sure our backup doesn't get hurt by leaving in our starter. Sounds like sound logic to me.
FWIW, I was surprised they didn't put in SR either.
