Generally, if you're in the 50 range you should be good. There have been some exceptions like Cincy in 06 (RPI 40). Here's a pretty good break down of numbers.

I like KenPom more however. It's a little more in depth...
But if we rushed him on 3rd downs, who would cover the slot receiver??
But seriously, if he's gone, I wish him nothing but the best. It's just a shame that he can't make it through.
My guess is that either (a)Gabe is more comfortable off the bench (b) Fran wants Gabe and his energy to pick up the 2nd unit or (c) Fran thinks it helps Adam's confidence if he starts as opposed to getting the same amount of minutes off of the bench. I don't really see it as a huge issue.
The way that I took the quote from Fran was more of a jab at Fred than at Lon. He also went on to say that Lon's son taking advantage of it was a completely different situation, i.e. new coach, playing for dad, etc...
Well, I was going to go with the rum for the evening. But then I looked and I had more vodka. But, maybe I'll break into the bottle of Crown Royal that I got for XMas and see how bad I get...
1 - He's a genuine good guy and a good possession receiver. It's a shame that this is his last game.
2 - Didn't he need 3 catches to break the record? Because as of now (end of the 3rd) he has 2 catches.
