re: Mett NOT practicing with team for bowl prep

Wrong. He's not taking reps from anyone. He'd be on the sideline watching. Maybe looking at a playbook.

If Mett were here, he would run the scout team offense in preparation for the game. Since he would be replicating A&M's offense instead of learning our own, it's not like he'd be missing a lot of important stuff, but it would obviously be great for him to start making friends and connecting to his teammates.

Plus, I think that would pose more of a challenge to our defense than TC or Barrett, so the negative is to our preparation for the game, as they would see a crummier scout team without him.

You don't know how Bowl practices work. They don't spend every practice in preparation for the Bowl game. Many practices are used specifically to give young guys reps.

Getting Mettenberger a chance to get his feet wet during bowl season would be a huge benefit for a guy who we are all hoping makes a huge push during the spring.
