I thought that a medical redshirt can be applied for after the season if the player played in 3 or less games. That was from a few years ago, so perhaps the rule has changed.

That is part of the criteria to apply, but it isn't a guarantee it will work. This happened at Navy in their first game a couple years ago and the QB was denied.
 
Criteria to apply for a redshirt:


A player obtains a medical redshirt by applying for one through the NCAA following a season when they meet each of the following requirements:

  • The player must have suffered an injury during their senior year of high school, or during one of their four eligible seasons for college competition. (This does not provide for players who are already redshirting a season and are injured in practice.)
  • The injury suffered must be "incapacitating", meaning it must be a season-ending injury.
  • The injury must occur during the first half of the season.
  • The player must have competed in no more than 30% of the season or four games, whichever is greater.

Navy doesn't play that shit. You have 4 years to graduate. No redshirts. A lot of the players already get a 'redshirt' year by going to NAPS to gain entrance to the Academy. Look it up... biggest waste of taxpayer money there is.

Your team doesn't lineup in Shotgun in 3rd and 10.

More to say they don't have dominant personnel up front as they have had in the past that could pressure with just 4 guys. WVU has had time in the pocket of VT doesn't load up.
 
Watching teams try to run the option that don't run the option is hilarious.

To be granted a medical redshirt, a player has to show two seasons were lost for reasons beyond his control (usually medical, but could be due to other issues). The NCAA then gives 1 season back with the additional redshirt season. If you lose 1 season for a reason beyond your control (as is the case with Francois), the NCAA's position is that he shouldn't have unnecessarily redshirted his first season. He could argue that his coach forced him to redshirt, but that makes the program look bad and is generally only argued when there's a coaching change.

OK, I'm not being clear. He might obtain a redshirt for 2017, but to obtain a 6th season (which he would need since he redshirted 2015), he would have to prove 2 seasons lost for reasons beyond his control.
