Heard on the Stanford pre-game that with Mills out, Costello was expected to not risk running. Instead, the expected him to stay safe in the pocket. Seems like ND listened to our pregame.

Is Mills now officially out again, having reinjured his knee being in for, what, 1-2 series against UC Davis?
Hate to say it, and I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think he is going to be able to stay healthy long enough to be a significant contributor to Stanford football.
Too bad, since he was such a great prospect coming out of high school.

What is the Mills injury, exactly?  He could sit out this season and return healthy in Spring, depending on what the deal is.

Mills has already redshirted, so he cannot sit out.  NCAA regulations require a player to use his four years of eligibility in five years.  This is his redshirt freshman season, and he cannot have it back even if he does not play.

I wasn't implying he could redshirt.  Sitting out means not playing too.

OK.  I just wanted to stress that, whether he sits or suits up, the result is the same in terms of eligibility.  Frankly, if he really cannot play this year, it would be great to secure the extra year of eligibility so that he would have more time after Costello leaves.  But that doesn't fly.
