They have been locked into the Fight Hunger bowl for awhile and the outcome of this game if it is against Washington is really going to be hard to gauge. His bowl record has been good enough that I am not too excited about it either way. The team is lifting and conditioning during that 2 1/2 weeks so it is not like they are just laying around.
I do believe that some additional practices would help develop players, but BYU has not really been about developing players from what I have seen over the past eight years. With all the injuries I am not sure it makes sense to chance hurting depth anymore than is needed.
