Not to be a downer but if the star type guys aren't participating its not really a very attractive game-only good thing is the practices for the young studs trying to get ready for next year, pass on the game and just petition the NCAA for 15 practices if everybody is opting out.
(Reminds me of Penn State) total waste of a season with New Years day talent-poor game day management-coaches results very similar with both programs. Both guys in over their heads both guys learning on the job (see Franklin first few seasons) -both schools sports philosophy similar-winnings...
