Last regular season game of the year. Senior day. Cold tailgate. It's getting to be that time of year!
Some interesting stuff from Klieman's presser today. Jalen Allison is back as a starting CB on the depth chart and Klieman says he should play. He also says they plan to preserve Seth Wilson's redshirt so he's got 3 games left (with as many as 5 to go). I wonder if that means we see Saybein Clark a decent amount in this game since he's still got 2 games to burn?
I don't anyone that asked him but I would've been curious to hear Klieman's take on whether he planned to play more true freshman this game as a way to get them some experience and give the key contributors a bit of a rest since they've pretty much locked everything up. Of course he'd probably give SIU some lip service about it being a tough game where they can't take anything for granted but I bet we do see a lot of true freshman out there Saturday.
Let's give these seniors a big ovation on Saturday. A good chuck of them were committed when Bohl left and stuck with the program when they had no obligation to do so. And with a monster senior class it'll be good to get each of them their moment during the pregame intro.
