[QUOTE="ILL_INI, post: 1670361, member: 4851"] Nonsense. The players were big enough, strong enough, fast enough, and talented enough to beat Penn State on the road and be competitive in every game except Virginia and Wisconsin. A better job of coaching could have had this team bowl eligible, as could have better quarterback play. But to put this on small, weak, slow and untalented players doesn't hold up to what we've seen on the field. I appreciate many of your comments, if not just to see words bolded, italicized [I]and[/I] underlined (triple emphasis noted!), but I think you're off base here. A bowl eligible team doesn't necessarily even have to win half their games if there aren't enough qualifying teams. So, literally, even a below average team can qualify for a bowl. [/QUOTE]
