OSU should sit Hunter until A&M

With Kendall Hunter doubtful for Saturday’s game with Rice, I figured I’d weigh in on the issue. Should Kendall Hunter return as soon as he can or should he sit out until the Cowboys travel to College Station for their Big 12 opener against Texas A&M on Oct. 10?
If I am Mike Gundy, I would sit Kendall until Big 12 play. What’s the point of bringing him back against Grambling? The Cowboys will be the heavy favorite and Keith Toston and Beau Johnson proved against Houston they can make plays in Hunter’s absence.
I am really interested to see what happens behind Toston and Johnson. If Hunter’s injury was more significant, I think OSU would consider taking the redshirt off Jeremy Smith. I’ve heard lots of good things about Smith but there’s really no point in playing him this season with the Cowboys’ depth at the position.
But I am interested to see Travis Miller get some carries. Miller is one of the fastest Cowboys on the roster so I want to see the redshirt freshman in game action. If the Cowboys get a big lead on Rice, it is likely Miller will see his first action of his collegiate career.

I think Hunter should play against Grambling.He needs to get his confidence up. Besides the Grambling game reminds me alot of the Missouri State game last year where he played only a half.
