I thought JK Johnson was supposed to be back for the bowl game???

Media got to watch practice this morning, so we should know whether or not he's out there. Good news that Sage is staying and will be playing in the bowl--forget next year, that discussion is for--and is being had--in another thread. We at least have plenty of bodies at corner for the bowl.

I'm sure most of the 15 bowl practices are relatively light as far as hitting goes--I know most coaches take that 1st week to go back to the basics and re-enforce fundamentals. But I do hope we work on tackling a decent amount, especially with the secondary as they are gonna be counted on to come down and help out in the running game.

We're not gonna turn into a top 10 defense in 15 practices, but if we can prevent those 7 yard runs from becoming 25-30 yarders because our secondary can't tackle, we should be in good shape. Good enough to beat a 7-5 Wisconsin, anyway.
