I know there is a low chance of this happening, but it would be really great for Newman to get the job and play (like this) enough next season to allow Hartman a red shirt year. I thought freshman Hartman was more advanced than freshman Wolford, and would love to give him another year to develop in this offense and get stronger, and then have potentially 3 years with him at the helm.
Right. I like that possibility in thinking. Also, Hartman could play in 4 games if Newman is dinged up some, and still redshirt.
