	It also would not surprise me to see Fitzgerald and Tiffin back off of scholarship.

I said that a few months back when they were officially put on scholarship, and I was ripped pretty good for it, too. However, that said, I still think that may very well happen.

And honestly, if you want to split hairs about it, it probably should happen. I know they were starting at kicker and punter, but even so Tiffin missed just about every big kick he had, and Fitzgerald was still one of the worst punters in the conference. Aside from missing just about every non-meaningful kick -- he missed two easy kicks in a tight game Kentucky, two kicks against LSU, including the chip-shot game-winner, and two potentially huge kicks against Utah in the Sugar Bowl -- Tiffin struggled a good bit on kick-offs and we finished 9th in the conference in net punting with Fitzgerald. Truth be told, neither have performed well enough to be considered scholarship worthy, IMO.

I said months ago that they may have been given scholarships on a one-year basis. Remember that all scholarships must renewed annually, and I wouldn't be surprised if neither Fitzgerald or Tiffin didn't see their scholarship renewed. Honestly, I'd much rather bring in an extra prospect like Stinson than I would keep those guys on scholarship.

Rip me for it if you want, but that's my opinion on the matter.
