"I remember coming here in (the) 2014 (season) in the national championship run," defensive tackle Tracy Sprinkle said. "I wasn't fortunate enough to play back then, but I just remember walking in there and seeing that huge screen and just taking it all in. Now that we're both starters coming up -- coming back this year to be able to play in it, it's going to be huge."
