Many think Hyatt will opt out to focus on training for the draft. He had an incredible season so another game will not increase his draft status. Plus, he would risk injury during practices and the bowl game.
Doug Matthews surprised me with his comment f during his show Sunday. He said it wouldn’t surprise him if a few players elected to sit out of the bowl game. Then he said “I wouldn’t have a problem with it.” That surprised me as Doug is a ld school and coached for Majors in the late 80s and early 90’s.
But he went on to say that winning the bowl game wasn’t important, and coaches prefer playing younger players who are returning the following year.
