Offense is NOT our problem. Unless Clif suddenly became an all-conference CB, I don't think there's much change to our current record.

And he doesn’t play on defense.

Leaders impact the whole team.

I liked McDowell and I am happy he played for UM. Regardless, the offense is better this year and it’s too bad for McNeese that McDowell is injured.

Nobody said otherwise.

Just when I thought you couldn't post anything more incorrect or asinine, you go and top yourself.

MacDowell could apply for a medical extension with the NCAA if I am correct. He may be a ghost from the past yet again.
He has already played in too many games. Unless something has changed in the last few years and I missed it, you can't take a medical shirt if you played in more than four games.

How many games did the Griz lose once he was placed as the starter?

Yes, a football player at the graduate level can still receive a medical redshirt if they sustain a significant injury that prevents them from competing for a substantial portion of the season, just like any other collegiate athlete; the graduate status does not preclude them from this option under NCAA rules

How is this relevant to this year? How many games has he won with this year's team? With this year's defense? LOL.

I think it would depend if the ncaa counts all games or just conference. I am sure hoops can fill us in. It's more complicated than I care to understand.

The injury or illness must have occurred before the student-athlete participated in more than 30% of the season's competitions.

We would have won the all regardless of the defense.
Quarterback play was certainly not the cause of our two loses this year!

With that basis of thought, it is just as possible that they...gasp...could have lost more games. That is the fun of what-ifs.

We have evidence to support the contrary. They would be undefeated, and the defense would perform better.

They count all games, as I understand it. A game is a game in terms of that calculation. I had a friend that lost his medical shirt the year Weber played Western, and they counted that game as one of his four. Again, though, this could have changed in recent years.

QB play was sorta the problem vs UND. We couldn’t get us a 1st down in the second half to save our lives. One first down in that half and that game likely is a win. Essentially the WSU loss boils down to a fumbled hand off. It’s definitely feasible to say with Cliff, we win those 2 games. The offense isn’t necessarily better because a different QB is under center. Every one of our skill players returned and many have said the O line is better than last year despite the departures. I can see Hike being on to something here.
