To wit
1. All signs point to Greg Blair being granted redshirt year and being back next season. Great news for guy w/ 33 tackles last 2 games.

Blair played in just one game last season, against Miami before having to shut it down for the season. But Jones said in his weekly presser that, and I quote.
"We received a preliminary statement that yes, he will be granted another year of eligibility but all indication is he will be back but I don't fully believe it until I see it entirely. All of the roads lead to him coming back. It's kind of a no brainer; it's pretty much a slam dunk, just some paper work. He was injured and had a year remaining eligibility wise so he had not exhausted his year of eligibility."
And there was much rejoicing. Blair has turned himself from a question mark into an unquestioned strength on defense in just 7 games. Having him back for 2013 is a massive boon to an already deep line backing group.
