08:35 AM ET 10.12 | Houston Cougars quarterback Case Keenum has decided to petition the NCAA for a sixth year of eligibility. UH is putting together the necessary paperwork to file an appeal on Keenum's behalf to obtain a medical waiver to play in 2011. Keenum, a fifth-year senior from Abilene, is fifth on the NCAA career passing yardage list (13,587). He suffered a season-ending torn anterior cruciate in his right knee during a 31-13 defeat against UCLA in the third game.

Keenum must think there'll be no 2011 NFL.

His current salary is probably more than he can get in the NFL.

You're talking about Ben Mauck. Problem with the Mauck case was that his initial redshirt year was not documented as a medical/injury-related redshirt, so the NCAA didn't see fit to give him a waiver.

That Houston offense is definitely not the same without him though.

He knows if he can get more stats the pay difference between the #22 pick and the #44 pick is about 5 million dollars.

So, Dawg, what the over/under on dive plays this weekend? How bout jet sweeps? Passes to the flat?
I'm putting "Shots Downfield" at 5.
Luckily it's a night game, so I won't have to be putting shots down at 5. ;)

I believe Tyler will get his 6th year. Maybe I am just a homer, hoping, but he missed all of last year and only played in a few games this year. I really think he was hoping to stay healthy this year and go pro, is the only reason he had not already explored getting last year extended to next year.

You are right Harley; Getting that sixth-year of eligibility is a rare case. Believe Case Keenum has the talent and skills for the next level as does Tyler Moeller; But also believe both need that extra year of playing healthy in college first, prior to playing on Sundays.
I am pulling for both to be granted their sixth year of eligibility.
