that post sounds like an Alabama fan

I know it was meant in jest, but of course, with travel roster limits, you can't really bring the walkons and players that are redshirting to play (with the new 4 game rule, this becomes a possibility for home games), which of course is the only reason the primary backups played until the end of the game two years ago.

I don't think it's the ONLY reason

Insiders are beginning to report that Shea will put his name in for the draft but is nearly 100% planning to return next year. That's huge and makes sense all around. He'd probably be ~8th taken at his position, which would make him a 2019 midrounder, and I'd say he could parlay a return into a 1st/2nd Rd selection if he stays and he doesn't dip below his current level of play.

And then there's the offense, which will return almost everyone - only losing one OL (JBB), Higdon and Perry. So: Patterson, in his final year of eligibility, throwing to Collins/Black/DPJ and Gentry, behind an ascending OL? Yes please!

Great news.  I guess Shea is having fun and likes Ann Arbor.  Already looking forward to spanking the Nitts again in Happy Valley next October.

My thought exactly. And what a place for fun. Good for him.

I believe the most lopsided away game spread in Vegas history was 38.5 (can't confirm but have read it twice this week), which I guess would make 39.5 historic if it holds.
Honestly, though, I'm cool without covering if it helps us bubblewrap Shea.

I don't want them to rest Shea all game. Don't want him to get rusty, have to keep him sharp. But I would like to think they'd want to build an early lead and treat it almost like an NFL pre-season game. Give him a few series, get a lead, then let Peters play basically the entire 2nd, 3rd, and 4th QTRs. Time to get Peters some reps and get him up to speed fast. It's Rutgers man.

Was rewatching earlier and noticed Aubrey Solomon limp to the locker room in the first half. Any word on the severity there?

Hope it was precautionary but I always worry about these guys' knees. Plus: This defense has been even better since his return.

pretty sure he came back to the game in the 2nd half.
Regardless we won't know one way or the other because Harbaugh treats injury information like nuclear launch codes.
