It was not the first a time tonight. Big east refs must be blind!

Barrett Trotter is right back in the QB mix. Maybe all he needed was a wake-up call.

He has already graduated and said he wouldn't be back next year. Maybe he will change his mind.

A couple of facts...
- The win is AU's 5th consecutive Bowl victory.
- AU finishes the season 8-5 which gives Coach Chizik and Co. 30 victories in 3 seasons. Not bad for a 5-19 coach?

War Eagle! We have some offensive talent; hopefully we'll get the right guy to figure it all out. I guess Malzahn proved, unlike UF, you can move the ball with an avg QB and half-size RB's...

Also, the Tigers never lost two games in a row. Impressive for a young team who had every opportunity to get down on themselves with a tough schedule.
And, CGC still has never lost a bowl game as a coach.

Good win...Trotter was a different QB. Not sure where his mobility came from...might have a lot to do with not playing against Top 10 talent and speed. We can run the ball with all our backs...we have tremendous speed.
We dropped too many balls and Trotter makes easy plays look hard because he throws balls too hard when he needs just a little touch. But compared to any game this year; he actually looked like an average QB.
Defense is another matter. We're just not very good. I have never seen a group of DB's unaware of where every pass is. They never; I mean never; see a pass coming. Not sure another year will help these guys. Thorpe could play 10 more years and not cover a pass. Seems like we will still be very inexperienced on Defense again next year. Would love to hear how others think the D will be improved next year; I don't see it.
