I understand the sentiment, but I think we need to have Debo’s mentality and just treat this as business as usual. Alabama or Georgia or any other kind of team like that would treat us like a regular game and run out their starters. The last thing I want to risk is for our starters to come out sluggish from having not played for a week.

True, I just think injuries.

Start the starters. Then, hopefully, none of them have to play in the 2nd half.

Assuming it’s senior day. Let him play a lot. I one appreciate the sacrifice he has made this year. He’s been a great teammate on the sideline you can tell.
Sorry, but no. Ashford should get time, but not start. Sellers is the program's future and needs all the work he can get. Hopefully, we can get the game over with in a half and get Ashford some time.

Not so sure about that. Sellers was mighty rusty when he didn't play the Akron game.
Yep stay sharp.

For one thing, if Ashford were starting, that means he'd be getting the reps in practice. We need Sellers and Co. to just stay in the routine of game prep. Gameday preparation. They need to keep the mental preparation up as well as the physical.

If I have my way, we're up 35 or so before halftime & all key cogs we can't do without are pulled.
