At least the QBs will both likely play.  Curious to see what attendance is like.  Both teams probably have plenty of fans in Florida

Depends on opt-outs.  I expect Texas will have a bunch.  Coaches will use the practices to get next year's team going.

Nah Arch is coming back next year so he'll play, at least some of the game.  Wouldn't be surprised though, to see our younger QBs get some snaps too.

yup. a lot depends on who actually wants to play. bowl games outside of the playoffs are all just about getting the young guys ready and up to speed and used as a launching pad for the upcoming season.

of course. bowl prep is huge for young players trying to develop and get better. get an extra 15 practices in that they wouldn't otherwise if the team misses bowl. it's a big deal for young freshman players.

Folks from the upper peninsula can learn as they go

Sweet Jesus.

The beach is like 25 miles east.  Yes, it's also 80 miles west, because peninsula!  But save some money on gas, will ya?
