Give the kid a chance.

Unless Wynn is a key cog in some yet-to-be-revealed Wild-Ute formation that will put us over the top against TCU, I vote for a redshirt year.

I think Cain is still steadily working up the learning curve and he has a lot of upside. By next year, this offense could be scary good! (Maybe by late November of this year if we're lucky!)

If Wynn redshirts, that leaves three Wynn years in the post-Cain era... sounds like a great long-term QB plan to me.

will not play unless Cain suffers an injury. I think he is actually the more talented QB, but after sitting for 7 games, you don't waste the red shirt now. Remember what Ronny Mac did you ruin Alex Smith's red shirt year late in the season. 3 snaps and it meant Smith could leave early like he did, instead of having to stay one more year. Lets not go through that again.

Why burn Wynn's possible redshirt so he can take a couple non-passing reps during garbage-time against Wyoming?

I agree that you don't make the switch to Wynn right now.However, I have come to believe that the decision to start Cain was a mistake.Our Utes appear to have the look of a team that is going to win the games that they should (ie,Utah St.,UNLV etc.)and lose the games that maybe they aren't supposed to win(ie,Oregon,TCU).I believe that Utah would still be 6-1 right now if Wynn were the starter.But they would have a huge leg up on next year.If Cain continues to struggle and show a lack of improvement,what do you do next year?If you open up the race again next year and Wynn wins it then you are going through the same thing next year,breaking in a new QB.Against a schedule that includes 4 potential top 25 teams(Pitt,Notre Dame,TCU,BYU)If you leave Cain as the starter next year then you run the risk of having Wynn leave the program.Remember he came here because he thought he would have a greater chance to play early. Wynn should have been the starter this year.

to red shirt Wynn. I understand the reasons why they haven't declared that yet, since we don't really have another back up QB right now. The only way I see that changing is if Cain goes down somehow.

I hope the team will rally around Cain and figure out a way to get the offense working again. Our defense will keep us in any game and as they have already done, win us a game or two but we need to get the offense back on track in order to finish this year strong - I think we have a good shot of winning out if that can happen.

Go Utes!!! I can't wait to see Wynn play, but I hope it's not until next year sometime.

Letting him take a couple of snaps at this point would not burn a redshirt because he hasn't been redshirted yet. It would only get burned if he is redshirted and THEN gets put into a game.

Might be the dumbest comment ever. If Wynn does not take a snap this season, he will be red-shirted. So yes, allowing him to play some mop-up duty in week #8 would be burning his redshirt.

Not exactly difficult to understand is it?

Smith could've left after the 2004 season regardless of whether or not he'd played in 2002. The rule is that players aren't eligible until after 3 years of HS. Theoretically, a player could not play any college football for 3 years and still enter the NFL draft. As a reminder, Kruger left after his sophomore year. However, even as a sophomore, he'd been out of HS for 5 years (redshirt year, 2 yrs of mission, Frosh/Soph year).

That said, I'd prefer to see Wynn redshirted.
