Texas +3.5 looking better.

the weed guys are all just misdemeanors ... nothing will come of it (nor should it)
the other guy, Devin Butler, might as well just go straight home from jail as he will get kicked out of school. it doesn't appear he was expected to be a contributor though...he was on the shelf with a broken foot and could not see action until mid-Oct anyway
South Bend police were called to a club, the Linebacker, at around midnight for reports of a fight between patrons and security. After police broke up the fight, they went outside and found a group of women fighting near the curb. When this happened, Devin Butler reportedly became very angry towards one of the women in the group. Butler allegedly lunged at an officer and started throwing punches after he was asked to back away.
He was arrested and handcuffed, booked on preliminary charges of battery on a police officer and resisting Law enforcement.
Formal charges are pending, officers from South Bend Police are working with the prosecutors office.

Whomever thinks these aren't big losses are crazy and not knowledgeable on College Football. Here's why:
1. They lost starters at WLB and FS. Those are key positions in reading and reacting to TEXAS's new offense. Both of those positions have to make fast decisions vs TEXAS's very fast slot receivers. They may have other good options at the Will, but they are now lining up a true freshman at FS with no depth behind him. Trying to defend an offense they've never seen.
2. TEXAS is going to run 85+ plays on offense. In hot humid conditions that the ND players aren't used to. They need depth in a big way. And they just lost a lot of it. You think that true freshman FS can go 90 plays trying to read and react to Armanti Foreman and Devin Duvernay?
3. TEXAS is already planning to feed them a large dose of power run game featuring two pounding bruisers and 2 dangerous change of pace RBs. Again, they are losing a lot of depth and experience up the middle. The safety they lost played a prominent role in their defense vs power run teams.
4. Stuff like this kills morale.

Notre Dame vice president for public affairs and communications Paul Browne offered the following statement: "Any student arrested on a felony charge also faces dismissal from the university. The university will determine if additional sanctions should apply to any or all of the students charged."
Notre Dame senior cornerback Devin Butler, who's recovering from a foot injury, was also arrested early Saturday morning in South Bend and booked into the St. Joseph County Jail on a preliminary charge of battery to a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest, which are both felonies.
The charges levied against Redfield, Coney, Williams, White and Stepherson are all misdemeanors, a Fulton County Jail official confirmed. Those five players posted bond and were released from the Fulton County Jail in Rochester, Ind., Saturday afternoon.
