Yes, I do believe a pattern is developing here, think the canes will pick up on it?

I thought this was supposed to be a defensive duel. Only one team appears to have brought one to Atlanta.

And if they only brought half the results would be the same. I'm impressed with this Flynn kid.

What happened to Ryan Periloux, the QB who was supposed to sign with Texas last February and then switched at the last minute to LSU? I guess he got redshirted.

Yesterday was the day of comebacks (except for the Canes).

Who'd have thought that out of all the matchups yesterday the Peach Bowl would wind up being the worst game?

I shut the game off right at the end. I didn't see the post game fight.

Yeah I saw it on SportsCenter this morning.

I don't care who started it, but that isn't a good thing for Miami. They already have a perception.....

Well then you were lucky. The reason to pick UVa was that they had a much tougher schedule than NW, but then it turned out to be a game that could have gone either way. Virginia supposedly had its own coaching problems according to the announcers who would rather be the stars of these games.

No, I don't think it was luck. UVa did NOT have a much tougher schedule than Minny (I assume you meant Minn, not NW). Based upon opponents' winning %, Minny had the #17 most difficult schedule, while the Cavs had #67, so it wasn't really close. Having to play Ohio State, Michigan, Iowa, and Penn State (3 on the road) is NOT an easy schedule.

Yes, the game could have gone either way; however, Minny was favored by almost a TD, which is what I was going against, so had Minny scored a TD to win, they still wouldn't have covered.

Yes, UVa did have some coaching issues, as 4 assistants left; however, it gave the players much more one-on-one time with the head coach, Al Groh. I think the players really enjoyed that, as they normally have little interaction with the head coach. I thought his players would play hard for him and they did.

When you are favored like Minny, it's easy to get distracted. With all of the Minny assistants getting termination notices the day after the game, it doesn't take a rocket scientist that they might not be totally focused in on the game. Coach Mason even said they were being distracted by it.
