coaches where Euhus and Seigler will be reunited with Dennis Erickson.
"I think it's going to be a pretty exciting week going down there,"
Euhus told OSUBeavers.com. "Obviously, I'll be going up against some
of the best players in the country. Rich (Richard Seigler) is going to be on
my team, so that'll be a lot of fun hanging out with him - it'll be exciting.
But it'll be a challenge, that's for sure. There's great talent there."

sensational seniors will be coached by
