... against Northern Illinois, in front of 500 curious onlookers.
It's only going to get tougher from here.
Will each starter play the full 40 minutes against Michigan State?
I know it wasn't an intimidating environment. My point was playing on the road is different and that was the first experience for most of the bench.
My point is that everybody should have been given adequate exposure to the environment in an effort to build depth and take the edge off, so to speak. I don't think 10, 8, 7 and 5 minutes gives Paris, Demetrius, Evan and Shaq much of an impression or a chance to make a difference.
The coaches recruited these guys presumably because they believed in them; now is the time to show them some trust. Let's see the entire roster, minus the redshirts and walkons. I don't want to see fatigue lead to a losing streak when February arrives.
