Yeah those are horrible stories they've had to deal with.
Any news on why he killed himself?
This whole college playoff thing is going to be a huge cluster fuck in my opinion. Letting people into the process is always a bad idea. I thought they were going to take the top 4 out of the BCS numbers in the playoffs?
He sent a text message to his mother apologizing for being an "embarassment", and that his concussions (from wrestling, he was a football walk-on this year only) were "f'ing with his head."
It does seem a bit fishy that he did it in a dumpster though, but it's not exactly easy to knock off a guy who is 6'5" 280lbs, either...
The playoff is a huge fustercluck, and will continue to be. Florida State looks terrible against all of their weak, unranked opponents, but is good enough to win, so will end up in the Top 4 even though talent-wise they're probably not even a top 10 team.
KF - I will be very interested in seeing how their backup's backup plays against OSU. I saw him in action against Penn State in last year's blowout win, and he seemed pretty good. He's not fast by any means, but he's HUGE, and is a solid pocket passer. Expect to see a lot of Ezekiel Elliott during that game, though. Sadly, with Barrett out, any chance they had of sneaking into the top 4 is out, as the committee will view it as a big loss.
