Overall a good season for the Buffaloes.   They just got shelled tonight.  No nearly as close as the 36-14 score indicates.

Not a stellar performance by the Buffs!

Iowa St over Miami was another fun game to watch. Came down to the last play, albeit a Hail Mary, but a very fun high scoring game. Two really nice teams for the Pop Tarts Bowl...this bowl game is growing on me each year.

Miami QB leaving at halftime was weak sauce. 
 

Many will disagree, but my guess is that there were plenty of guys playing their last game who would like to have gone out with a win.

I am sure his teammates probably knew that was the plan going into it. I have no issues with anyone that may be a high draft pick deciding to opt out of meaningless bowl games. To me you did your part as a teammate if you went all out in the regular season and left it on the field. Then if you and the team came short of the playoffs. I have zero issues then with a person putting themselves first over playing in a bowl that literally means nothing. After the regular season is over, it then becomes about your own future career if you have a chance to go pro. Now if a person were to opt out of a playoff game, then I would think that is wrong and leaving your teammates out to dry. 

Louisville Washington game was another fun game for this bowl season. 

As a whole, I think the non-CFP games have been really good this season.

This is a pretty cool version of One Shining Moment!
