Is there any need for the rebels to even try this Saturday?

Since they are out of the west race and will finish behind State once again, is there really anything to gain from playing their starters in the egg bowl. One would think they would not want to risk any injuries prior to their big game with Marshall in the Birmingham colon bowl. State is playin for a shot at the playoffs and they would appreciate it if the Rebs would just lie down so no one gets hurt. It's what is best for everyone.
