Ifeadi Odenigbo woke up “pissed off.”
It wasn’t that his bed was uncomfortable.
It wasn’t that he struggled to sleep before his final road opener as a college player.
It wasn’t that a teammate or a coach had made him mad.
He was pissed off at himself.
A fifth-year senior, Odenigbo had been one of the most underwhelming players for the Wildcats through four weeks of the season, registering just seven total tackles and one measly sack. He had been demoted to the bench, replaced by C.J. Robbins. His team was struggling, and he was part of the reason why.
