“Hopefully, nobody is sitting out. I talked to [senior safety] Josh Metellus, and we’re playing. I don’t think anyone has any room to sit out. If anything, it’s an opportunity for the seniors.

It depends on your situation, but any time you have an opportunity to go out there and compete against the best in the country, it’s another chance to improve yourself.”
Senior quarterback Shea Patterson last night, discussing the topic of players potentially sitting out the bowl game.
