The Michigan Wolverines and Alabama Crimson Tide will be facing off on New Year’s Day in the Citrus Bowl, and it sounds like both teams will be taking the tilt seriously.
“I don’t think anybody is going to sit out,” Michigan defensive end Kwity Paye said on Sunday night. “We should end the season strong. I feel like a lot of the seniors didn’t end the season strong. I feel like this is another way to do that in a way.”
This is a new era of college football, an era in which we’re seeing an increase in the amount of draft-eligible players sitting out bowl games.
