I want Mett back for the bowl game just so he can win one in his time here. I have full faith Jennings could do it if we need though, but I want that glory for Mett.
I disagree with the majority here. Zack and the coaching staff should be more concerned with his future. He's played on a gimpy knee most of the year. His fulture is in the NFL. Why risk additional (possibly career ending) injury in a game that means little or nothing. Yea I know, "it would be nice for him to go out with a bowl win," but to me the risk isn't woth the reward. The upside if he doesn't play is the probable starting QB for next year gets some quality playing time against a quality team with nothing much on the line.
I think the decision should be Zach's wether he plays in a bowl or not. Given he is cleared by his dr's.
Mett has nothing to prove to anyone... he's shown all year he's as tough as they come, but I think the competitor in him makes him play in the bowl. Maybe we can get a decent lead and AJ can get some playing time as well... would be a great way to showcase both the outgoing and incoming talent.
I think he deserves to close out his career as a Tiger and deliver a bowl win for his team and university. Additionally, having Mett play in the bowl game is a stage to display his talents to NFL scouts, coaches, and GMs that the combine can't provide.
