Vraa update?

According to NCAA rule 1 section 4 article 6: Optional Equipment

Eye shields. Eye shields must be clear, not tinted, and made from molded or rigid material. Eyeglasses and goggles also must be clear and not tinted. No medical exceptions are allowed.

I believe this is true. During the FCS kickoff game between EWU and SHSU, Adam's was wearing a tinted visor and was pulled out for a few plays to remove it after it was brought to the officials attention.

Cool...

NCAA FOOTBALL RULE 1-4-5 (SEE 1-4-5-s)

Illegal Equipment

ARTICLE 5. No player wearing illegal equipment shall be permitted to play. Any question as to the legality of a player’s equipment shall be decided by the umpire. Illegal equipment includes the following:
...
s. Eye shields that are not clear or made from molded or rigid material. Note: No player wearing illegal equipment shall be permitted to play. If illegal equipment is discovered by an official, the team shall be charged a team timeout.

So Uranium filled glass visors are banned?

back on topic - Coach K says on FCS call that Vraa is running around but hasn't practiced yet.

[Bisonwinagn]

I was under the impression that Vraa had a hamstring injury, not an injury to his eyes due to the lack of using a tinted visor?

no I think he hurt his cornea after looking at all the Pom Pom's. Should of had a visor.

This is CK setting up the redbirds nicely. Rope-a-dope. Make them think Vraa is a game time decision and then bam!. First offensive play of the game is Vraa over the top for a bomb!

This is not as far off as you might think. There is no great advantage to playing it coy with Vraa but one does exist. The Redbird defense does have to prepare itself differently if 82 can go. If they are preparing as though he will be a part of the festivities and he is not, then they "wasted" that preparation time. If their defensive gameplan is to disregard that position as someone who cannot get open aganst 1 on 1 and Vraa is 90% of his normal self then there will be a mismatch all day long. Belichick does this kind of crap all the time.

If Zach is able to dress and run around a bit, I like that it creates an issue for their defensive gameplan. Maybe he'll be good enough to go out there and make a single catch that will be huge and change the game? I certainly don't expect him to be 100%, but like Herd mentioned, even a 90% Vraa is a pretty good wide receiver.

so there are actually people that think he won't play?

I don't think he won't play.

I think he likely won't not play.
