Steven Ford

After the Clemson game there were reports that he was out for the year. Then, there were reports that he would be ready after 6 weeks.

Does anyone know if Steven Ford is ready to return? If so, will he, or will they try and get him a redshirt?

Can you get a medical redshirt if you are healthy enough to play but the coaching staff holds you out? Obviously, by starting the Clemson game, a normal redshirt is out the window...

Thought I read on here that Dodge/Rick V/someone said they were hoping to get a medical redshirt for him since he was on the field for, what, 2 plays?

But I guess my question is:

If he is able to go now but the coaches intentionally hold him out, is he actually eligible for a medical redshirt? Seems like the NCAA would see that we are just trying to skirt around the rules and not allow him to have the redshirt?

I could understand if he broke his leg and was out for the rest of the season, but if he's ready to go now...?

If so on the coaches part, did anyone truly believe a concussion kept Riley out for the season 2 years ago?

Ah, Good call. I guess it works... at least I hope so.
