There were times last year, when he wasn’t playing the game at the level he wanted, where Gerald Willis would remind himself that the game, the one that mattered most, was coming soon enough.
Soon enough is just about here.
When Willis takes the field at AT&T Stadium on Sunday night, not only will the burly defensive tackle see his year-long absence from competitive college football come to an end, but he’ll be lining up against LSU, the flagship program from his home state of Louisiana.
Understandably, Willis is practically counting the minutes until kickoff.
