Bench Bunch. The following non-freshman non-injured (according to injury reports) scholarship players did not appear in the Sun Bowl.

• Sophomores
  • C Drew Dalman. He's been on and off the field all season - played in seven games, with a start - though it is not always clear if that is for health or performance reasons. Do not know why he did not play in the Sun Bowl.
    
  • DE Ryan Johnson. He's played in six games this year. Not sure if that is because of injuries or lack of performance.
    
  • OT/OG Foster Sarell. Big Game was his third and last game of the season. Perhaps they did not want to risk further injury.
    
  • WR Connor Wedington. He did not play in order to regain his redshirt, according to Coach Shaw.
    
• Juniors
  • OG Nate Herbig...
    
  • OLB Curtis Robinson. Played in two games this year. Is injury or performance holding him off the field? At any rate, he regained his redshirt; we'll see if that matters.
    
  • RB Trevor Speights. Has played in nine games this year. He started as the backup to Bryce Love, but was supplanted by Cam Scarlett. Perhaps he's injured. Dorian Maddox got his snaps in the Sun Bowl, and looked good!
    
  • WR Donald Stewart. The culmination of a season's enigma. Played in the first three games of the year, and then disappeared. I suppose he could be injured. Or he could just not be good. It is still surprising that he does not play at all, even on ST. He played as a true frosh, for goodness' sake. And he played in every game last year.
    
• Seniors
  • C Brian Chaffin. I don't think he's injured, but he didn't play against Kal, either. In fact, after playing in nine games, he did not make another appearance after the Oregon State game. Does not suggest he will come back next year.
    
  • OG Nick Wilson. I don't think he's hurt. His is a weird situation. He played in every game until Kal; then did not play in Big Game. Not sure if he got any PT at guard this year, and there was certainly opportunity. He was the starting Ogre for most of the season. I wonder if he is angry he never got to play on the line. But I don't know why he did not play in the Sun Bowl.
    
• Fifth-Years
  • WR Isaiah Brandt-Sims. Did not have one appearance this year after playing in 11 games last year. Crazy.
    
  • ILB Jordan Perez. After playing in every game last year, he made two appearances this year, his last being against ND. He did not record a statistic. Did he peak his first year? But perhaps he had a season-long injury. I dunno.
    

Note: The participation report lists Dylan Jackson, Dalton Smith, and Brandon Simmons as having appeared, and does not list Houston Heimuli as having appeared. According to SMF, these four reports are incorrect.
