Expect to see more from Ryan Wingo, plus regular contributions from Matthew Golden, DeAndre Moore, and Silas bolden.

Here’s what Steve Sarkisian had to say about Wingo on College GameDay Saturday morning.

“He’s a big, physical guy who has real long speed,” Sarkisian said. “He’s made big plays for us this season, so now he’s just going to get more snaps. He’s going to get more opportunities. We feel good about Ryan being in there. He’s a different player than Isaiah is, yet I still think an explosive player.”
