It’s worth a shot. The benefits of keeping Morris’ red-shirt should be obvious to everyone, even if you don’t think he’ll ever start (as I don’t.)
The big question is if Rudock can stay healthy enough to get through the year. What happens if he gets banged up and the backup has to come in? Imagine that scenario in the 3rd quarter of a tied game against MSU or OSU. Does Michigan take a timeout to think about it a little more? Do they run Speight out there knowing the D will tee off on the run game? Or do they say this series is worth more than a 5th year for Morris.
I’d still say it’s unlikely that Morris gets through the year without playing, but I LOVE that Harbaugh is thinking this way.
