Sophomore defensive tackle Anthony Perkins did that, heading back to Washington, D.C., for the weekend, hoping to relax. Except he jumped awake early Saturday morning - a gameday ritual that dies hard. Then he annoyed his family while they watched football, breaking down the games, pointing out double teams to his uninterested fellow viewers. Film habits die hard, too.
Even if they didn't get to go home, the players still can take advantage of the time off. Kevyn Scott, the redshirt freshman safety from Florida, spent most of the time in his apartment on South Campus. "During the bye week, actually, I just relaxed," Scott said. "Watched some of the games, basically, some of the opponents that we're going to face. I watched the West Virginia-Rutgers game."
The Mountaineers beat the Scarlet Knights, 24-17, one game that all the Orange players were sure to have watched this week during film study, a return to the grind. Then again, they watched film last week too.
"I mean, we do the same thing week in and week out," McKenzie said. "A bye week is almost just a week without a game at the end of it."
