Bowl Games Thread

Yep! Nix’s involvement in the Fiesta Bowl was a pleasant surprise, bringing the number of Heisman finalists playing in bowl games to 2 of 4.

They mentioned on the broadcast that he had announced shortly after it was determined what bowl they would be in that Nix said he would play so it wasn't too much of a surprise.

They are absolutely atrocious to watch. 80 yards going into half. I can't think of a team that wins as many games as they do but has this low of a ceiling. This 14-0 lead for Tennessee might as well be 35-0.
Tennessee had about three times more opt-outs in this game, the line actually dropped about 4 points in Iowa's favor.

I guess Iowa would have been better off its offense -- or at least Brian Ferentz -- opted out.

Real fun begins in a couple hours with Michigan/Bama. Hoping for two really good playoff games tonight.

That’s just standard talk. Many of the players who’ve opted out of bowl games had initially indicated they would play.
