Agree. I mentioned the medical shirt possibility on Alexander earlier. I wonder if that is a discussion that Shaw has with him. Offers a fifth year. Would the shirt be automatic. He played in game one . What exactly is the rule on medical redshirts.
EDIT: I looked up the rule. The only question is whether hed meet the incapacity test. Has to show that he could not come back due to the injury. So if he is able, he needs to rehab etc. If he is able to come back, he probably would not be eligible.

Neither redshirted as a frosh, and it seems like they both could be more valuable in their fifth years (next year for Alexander) and (two years from now for Branch) than they will be over the remaining five games. We could be losing a bunch of DBs to the NFL this year so Alexander could be a key guy next year. They both played in Rice game, but they would be able to apply for medical redshirt if they could show their injuries kept them out for the season.
