Why? Think he was gonna gain any yards with the way the OL played yesterday?

Personally, I think the way the offensive line played yesterday was a direct result of Royce NOT playing.

Please elaborate. I’d love to hear how you tie these together.

I think the effect of Royce practicing all week and then announcing the day before that he'd sit had to demoralize a few guys. This game seemed in some ways like the culmination of just too many things going on around the program than any one thing so it's not like anyone should try and put the loss on Royce even if you think he should have played.

Completely agree. There was just so many things that went on in such a short amount of time before the bowl game that the team couldn't handle it. Personally, I really underestimated the affect things would have on the team.
