Most of the assistant coaches will be on the road recruiting for the first few days of this week, Gary Andersen said on Sunday night.

The Aggies will practice from Monday through Saturday, but there will be a heavy emphasis on getting reps for the redshirt guys and the scout team.

"We want to let the older guys rest and heal up a little bit," Andersen said.

With that, expect the redshirt players to scrimmage a lot this week and to get some special attention from the coaching staff. The advantage of being in a bowl game is the extra practice time that allows for more development.
