Will we ever truly know? No.
I was told Javian could have played, for sure. Is that info accurate? I think it is but there's been a lot of false info floating around lately, lol.
Maybe I'm wrong but it truly felt like OU decided to lose on purpose for seeding and health reasons. If true, again we'll never probably know, maybe it'll pay off. There's very little doubt in my mind though...if the TCU game was seen as do/die, Soares and/or Javian would have played. Hugley, I have no earthly idea. By now, you'd think he's able to play.
