Forgive me if I missed this thread already but does anyone know why DC didn't make the trip to Athens last weekend? Was it strictly due to the amount of players we were allowed to travel with or something else going on?

IDK, but there was a tweet that Blake Barnett did make the trip to Athens. It could only mean that Barnett is at least ahead of Cornwell at this point.

Didn't know that. It doesn't sound right - that's for sure. I don't see how the limit of players would keep him from going - he's not injured.

He definitely wasn't there.. it seems all of the other scholarship QB's were.. If it wasn't a travel limit that held him back, you have to assume he is transferring after this year. Especially if BB is ahead of him.

I wouldn't expect Cornwell to be on travel squad for the rest of the season or back with team next year.

barnett Needs to get some experience of what it like to be on the road, and understand the environment around him... It'll be good for him. I think next year we have Bateman, Hurt, Barrett batting for the job next year.

Yeah that is pretty telling. Too bad he has lost his focus and sounds like attitude is getting in his way.

I honestly thought Morris would either be a lifetime back up or transfer if he was truly seeking playing time.

I thought Bateman would most likely transfer as well. I know he has played some this year.

I figured Cornwell or Barnett would be the future starters.

So, what exactly happened to DC? He was in the thick of the QB mix at one time correct? Then all of a sudden he falls off the face of the earth, not to mention the depth chart.

Maybe he came down with something and was told to stay behind, lest everyone else also get sick?

Sometimes it may just be the simple reason.

All of us here are experts on Tide QBs.

Look how everyone wrote off Blake Sims in the summer of 2014.

There is a big thread on here about what some assumed happened to DC. Did DC travel to Dallas? It seems he has been in the doghouse and if true then not making a road trip is expected, and I think you can only travel with 70 players on the road.

There is an NCAA limit to the number of players that can travel. In typical Coach Saban fashion if a player isn't able or isn't projected to play (in all scenarios that could possibly happen) he will not travel. That airplane seat and travel number are used for someone who can and possibly will contribute. That's all I can say. Roll Tide! :)

I'll tell ya what happened to DC...

On June 3, 2015 at 6:19am CST I emphatically stated "Cornwell will be the starter this season." in the 3rd post of the "Link: Let The QB Battle Begin (and other Fall Camp discussion)... " thread. The rest is history as they say.

My apologies to DC for the jinx. ;)

Do you have something substantial, or is this similar to your D. Jackson to right guard guess?
