Texas A&M had to back out of the Gator Bowl due to a Covid-19 outbreak among the team on Wednesday.
Now, there’s a chance that a 5-7 team could potentially take their place in the game. Brett McMurphy of the Action Sports Network stated that Rutgers had the option of replacing the Aggies, but turned down the chance.
Bret Bielema and Illinois could be one of the teams to fill that spot. Bielema said that he’ll be “waiting by the phone” in a recent Tweet.
