    Yes, but at that point you can not use the Freshman 4 game rule. You will have to redshirt him and hope Allmendares does not get hurt. The longer you can wait this year, the better.

    Waiting could cost losing a game. Also, we can keep recruiting kickers.

    You are missing the other point made; don't use him unless it is necessary. That would be if whomever is the kicker misses some early tries in a game, and that game turns out to be close.

I think BN fear would be using him in the APP game or stAte, Texas State, Georgia State or even Troy than lets say Snyder gets hurt on a kickoff or a XP or even in practice, well now you have to burn the redshirt and you lose that year. If you can hold off without doing anything until later in the year lets say in a somewhat meaningless game vs Liberty or even ULM if we are killing them, than you will have him come back as a Freshman. If that injury occurs then it is all moot and you will have to burn it, but if you don't need to, why would you do it. Remember you get Allmendares back next year, next year you want Klotz to be a Freshman not a Sophomore, the longer we have him the better for after Allmendares is gone.
    Your post starts with 3 interesting words that make this whole discussion ironic; "You are accurate"!

    We want accuracy!

    GEAUX CAJUNS!

    That was my exact point, thanks. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he should not be used. If we are beating Arkansas State 35-10, he is not needed, if we are being Texas State 42-24 he is not needed. He was not needed vs App State, so he was not used. Hopefully the same thing happens for the rest of the sesaon.

    Your analysis is good and makes sense except for one thing. I don't think the Liberty game is somewhat meaningless. I think it's an important game for our ranking.

    But I don't believe Klotz is redshirted. All other freshmen/players that are redshirted has it clearly marked "redshirt".

    So what other reason could there be for not using him?

    I meant meaningless in conference standings. I know it is not meaningless, but if we are going to lose one more game, and I hope we don't. I hope it is the Liberty one.

    You don't have to qualify him as a redshirt I don't believe. You can make that decision at the end of the season based on his playing time.

    I believe this is correct. There are probably players that will not be playing under any circumstances who are now shown as redshirted. That is not the case with this kicker, however they do want to redshirt him if at all possible.

    They have some free agents from STM on campus that might still want to kick.

    Those listed as a redshirt on the roster have already redshirted. Example would Chandler Fields who is listed as a Redshirt Freshmen. He redshirted in 2019 by playing in just 3 games and is now playing his 2nd Freshmen year due to extra Covid eligibility.
