Dana Holgorsen has redshirted D'Eriq King, the QB who kept Kyle Trask on the bench in HS.
Houston's season is basically dead and gone after four games with losses to Oklahoma, Washington State and Tulane.
After that 1-3 start, it was decided King and wide receiver Keith Corbin, both seniors, would take the rest of the year off, redshirt and come back fresh in 2020.
Holgorsen said there may be more Cougars who redshirt.
"We've got way too many guys on this football team that are not in position to be fifth-year seniors," he said.
So, clearly, this is an elaborate roster management play. The coach is essentially creating a 2020 roster that will be loaded with experience.
