LSU and Stanford fans were dealt crushing news this weekend as star players and future NFL prospects, Leonard Fournette and Christian McCaffrey, announced they would sit out of their respective bowl games.
It appears as though Iowa State football players are following their lead. Many will instead prepare for spring practice, while others will get their resumes and cover letters ready for careers in liberal arts, general studies or used car sales.
Sitting out of bowl season is nothing new for this group of players, and after they caught word of Fournette and McCaffrey sitting out, the decision to sit this season out was made.
