With Simmons throwing at spring football, I asked Bianco how his baseball usage might be affected. There's no clear answer as both programs are trying to be aware of each other.
“He didn’t throw a ton today (at spring practice) knowing we play tonight and a high chance he’d pitch. I think as we get closer… to conference play and although he’s been super valuable out of the pen, we’ll see going forward what that looks like for them and us. I’ve talked to Coach Kiffin and he said to go use him and do what you need to do. Everyone is mindful of that.”
