Wasted Burned Redshirts

Some of these players only saw the field for a few plays this year:

Kevin Pope
Jeremy Johnson
Ben Gottschalk
Chris Parks

Probably would have been better not to have played them at all this year so they could have redshirted instead of wasting a year of eligibility.

I didn't understand why we burned some of these red-shirts, but we wouldn't burn Loftus'(kicker) redshirt when we couldn't hit field goals or get kickoffs past the 20....

I will never understand why we didnt burn Loftus redshirt considering the injuries in the kicking game. :?

To me pope was the only one that really would be considered wasted because I think he really did only play on 1 play. You might be able to argue the same for Johnson cause he really didnt make a difference at all on the field.

Parks and Gottschalk played on special teams a bunch if I remember correctly.
