Why Washington Husky LB Jacob Manu won’t play against No. 7 Oregon

He’s gone

I can’t get past the fact he’s related to Kyler Manu

Are you blind?
Legit question
-
I understand it.
I also understand a UW coach telling him to take his jersey off and get the fuck out of here, why is he even here if he'd rather play UCLA in an empty stadium than a fully lubricated Husky Stadium against Oregon. Sounds like a fucking Arizona player that should fuck off

Some version of this. Fly his family up for the Oregon game then. This story has bothered me all year. He’s a good player, but the position he plays is easily replaceable in the portal.

Feel like a lot of "player's coaches" would still unload on that kind of shit.
How do his teammates feel about that? Christ.

yep. use 'em while you got 'em. freshman aren't really freshman anymore anyway. fucking kids show up ready to play these days. gone are the day of the senior laden that scares everyone because experience. fucking teams that are loaded these days are starting freshman. if they're good they're good so play 'em because you're not getting four years anymore.

ZRS and Alexander are both local. I’d say They’re stoked Manu is out so they have more opportunities to crack Oregon skulls.
-
I wouldn't overlook the effect on the rest of the team
And on the game
Maybe a Nick Saban tuff guy isn't the answer these days but soft player's coaches rarely are either

Freshman play, but there is no program killing it and starting a bunch of freshman. Go look at Ohio State’s defense and you will see most of them played a little bit as a freshman, were rotating in as sophomores, and start their junior year. They have other guys that have been rotation guys and are finally getting a lot of playing time their senior year.
College football isn’t much different that it has always been. Guys that are 3-4 years older that have experience are typically better than 18 year old freshmen.
