    Should Ferguson Play?

    I'd tell him no. Discuss...

    If he does not care about the all-time sacks record, I would tell him not to play.
    If he wants it, then yes. Dixon played in bowl game his senior year (he was also fighting for TD record with Navy QB).

    That pretty much sums it up. Its not often a player has a chance to set an all-time sacks record for college football. And Hawaii throws a lot, so he should get his opportunities.

    And J'Mar will be lighting up UH's defense, scoring TDs on every drive! So, UH will have to throw just to try to keep pace.

    ….it could happen. No, really, it could!

    Too much to lose and almost nothing to gain.

    That said, I bet he plays.

    The all-time sack record is worth something for him. If he gets it, makes it that much easier for a team to pick a player in the early rounds from a smaller school. As a defensive end probably less chance of injury than some other positions. Bet he plays but would never blame him for sitting it out.

    This is the same as my thought.

    I hope he plays and gets the record and a win, etc.

    But if he sits, I'm not going to hold it against him. I'd get it.

    Should? You act like not playing would be a bad move.

    More and more future NFL guys are skipping these meaningless bowl games to protect future MILLIONS.

    Some have pointed out that the sack record would mean something to his future. I'm not sure. I think he has already made his case with the NFL scouts. IMO,the sack record now is a personal thing.

    I agree he should play. He is a projected mid-round pick. Sack record is still out there. A good showing in the bowl game could improve his draft status. He also needs to play in one of the "all-star" type games where tons of pro scouts and coaching staffs are evaluating players. He needs to work on the skills evaluated at the combine. He can make lots of money between now and the draft.

    He'll play. I wouldn't blame him if he didn't.

    If he is a first rounder, hell no he should not play. Got to the NFL and earn a life changing 2nd contract.

    If he is not projected round 1, go to Hawaii and break the damn record.

    His current projections are mid round (3-5). Nobody has him in their mock drafts for 1st round.

    Ok - thanks - I don’t follow NFL draft projections. I will say, that seems a bit low for his potential.

    All that said, he should play if that is where he is grading our with the pro scouts.

    Re: Should Ferguson Play?

    One more thing...it is also possible for a player to enhance his draft status by shining in the bowl game. ESPN will be all over it...with their Plays of the Day, and hawking a great game, NUMBERS/STATS, from one of their televised bowl games. I think Trent Taylor enhanced his draft status with that awesome display vs. Navy.

    Just something to consider....especially for someone so close to setting an historic record.
