Where was Torrey ?  Hurt ?  COVID ?  We certainly missed him.

Picking out tux for the draft.

Thanks Marty.  Yes, I read the article and read it again at your suggestion.  I still don't know why Torrey did not play, or if he even traveled with the team.  This is one of only six 3,000 yard runners in program history.  Outoftown asked the same question as I in the middle of the post.   Grandgreen suggested he might have gotten an agent.  I had not considered an agent but if true, why now ?  

So, may I respectfully ask again since I still don't know ?  WHERE WAS TORREY ?

Vito said he was out for "Undisclosed reasons" = code for personal reasons.   Did Coach Mumbles ever say anything about it?   But then he never says anything about anything, ever, to fans.  Next Head Coach needs to have a better personality.

Would "I don't like the coaching staff" qualify as a "personal reason"?

Rumor is it was a grades issue.

That would be embarrassing for the player, but also for the program that doesn't manage that better.

I'm just embarrassed that I was dogging UTSA for losing players to grades, meanwhile it might have been happening to our top player.

I’m skeptical on that.  The AD was pumping up our all-time high avg GPA!

Doesn't mean that he wasn't capable of failing as an individual.

Of course!   But I really hope that’s not the case or he’d most-likely be the most disappointed person about it.

Maybe Torrey took some hard classes.

ESPN broadcast also only said that he was unavailable (and repeated multiple times in the game).   Not sure what happened.
