Logical, yep. One thing I saw in the very fast practice footage the Pinstripe Bowl put out was Goodman working with Grunk on the field and Rulli clearly at center, so I wonder if he'll get some work. May have just been practice work, but thought it was interesting.

Nick Dawkin injured? Otherwise he‘s opting out of his last ever football game.

There are many reasons. Namely, it gives bowl teams an extra month to practice and prepare for the following year. It puts money in the coffers of their league to split amongst its members. The vast majority of CFB fans would agree that less football is not a good thing. Is it the best brand of football you see all year, no. Do the positives still outweigh the negatives, yes.

The 3 new OL and Dinkins opt-outs are kinda comical. 6-6 is making a lot of sense as time goes on. Bye.

I agree, it does confirm the statements made by King Mack. I'm not upset they are not playing. It's a step in the right direction in cleaning things up. Give the young guys a chance and gives Campbell a chance to evaluate what he has for next season.

So much for Nick Dawkins leadership. Team captain, very little NFL upside, a chance to play one more game and help stabilize a young OL. Absent.

Yep, combine King Mack's comments with the voices you hear on the Kraft tape that was leaked and you know all you need to know.

So dumb. Do all of these guys think they’re going to be playing on Sundays or getting a fat bag? Dudes that opt out of bowl games who are also collecting NIL $$ is just very dumb fo all of NCAAF. They need to fix that. If you get NIL $ then you pls all of the games including now games unless you’re hurt
