It’s the hot topic around college football this week — should players looking ahead to the NFL sit out bowl games to prevent injury and preserve their draft stock?
A number of draft eligible players have made that decision, including high profile running backs Christian McCaffrey of Stanford and Leonard Fournette of LSU.
What do USC players and coaches think of those decisions? They’re not judging, but they’re not ready to jump on the bowl skipping bandwagon.
“I guess it’s not their level of expectation of what a bowl game should be,” left tackle Chad Wheeler said on the mentality of McCaffrey and Fournette.
