🏈 Ty Simpson will be able to play in the bowl game w/o burning his redshirt (in spite of playing in four games.)

JMO but this should have been the case for freshmen going back to the Coach Bryant years. Salute to whomever made the decision.

it was probably made because of so many transfers, some schools may not have been able to field a team LOL

Interesting - is this in response to players sitting out?

I like the rule. A lot of bowl games have just become prep for the next season.

So what receivers will be available for this game? Or what receiver is not in the portal?

Ya know, a running back leads the team in receptions this season. The top two receivers are playing: Brooks and Burton.

I think Holden has 25 receptions on the year. That's top five for the team, and shows how little production they've got from the receiving corps.

I'm going with able but won't.... don't think this will be a blow out.

I’m not sure if the O-line play didn’t a part in Young having to hit his outlets as much as he did. He rarely had a clean pocket for more than a second or two. That being said, the receivers didn’t do a good job getting off the line and open as quickly as the previous batch of receivers had. With two of the starting receivers and all of the line (with Booker) playing in the bowl I don’t know if we will see much of a difference in the bowl game. Hopefully, we will come Spring!

Finally, the NCAA did something that made sense.

Yes, the extra practices have always been a bonus.
