Coach Riley gave me a call a couple of nights ago and wanted to know if I was willing to form two teams for him, for the upcoming Spring Game. He felt like I could be unbiased and make two teams that would be very competitive for the 75,000 fans he was expecting to be in attendance. That being said, here is what I have sent him:
