Leads team down field to tie game up with beautiful TD pass. Great story. 2nd best Bowl game of the season

It would probably be a closer game.Coming from a BAMA fan... I fully believe that Georgia can beat BAMA. I don't like how beat up BAMA is at this point.

And I hate seeing a guy with his draft profile who actually chooses to play in the bowl game, succumb to the very injury situation for which a lot of players opt-out. If his injury is serious, more and more will opt out.

Again, we'll see how the offseason evaluations go. He needs to demonstrate that he can make all the throws. With decent arm strength evaluations, this guy should go early. it all remains to be seen, so we'll see how it all plays out.
paradox wrote: ↑January 3rd, 2022, 5:59 pm College football is a means to an end. His stock is very high right now. Wasn't even on the radar last year. Seems like the right move for him. Meaningless bowl game. No regrets. Not cool if you're a Pitt fan though. All is forgiven if he makes them proud in the NFL. Maybe even gets to be a Steeler? Who knows?A means to an end for him maybe; however only 1.6% of college football players are drafted.
paradox wrote: ↑January 3rd, 2022, 7:01 pm I'll throw this one out there. I'm familiar with someone, casually, from the 90s. 2nd leading scorer on college BB championship team. 1st team conference honors, maybe even MVP...don't remember. Nevertheless, he was projected to go 1st round NBA draft. Decided to play his senior year and graduate instead. He was universally lauded for this. But ended up underperforming his senior year due to multiple nagging injuries. Production went down. Didn't end up getting drafted at all. He loved the college game and that's why I think he stayed. But never seemed to completely get over it. Couldn't forgive himself for not riding the momentum and seizing the opportunity when it was there. Great guy, but never really found his place in the world outside of basketball.
Sometimes, getting the right advice is priceless.

Ole Miss and Baylor probably would have been better playoff teams than Cincinnati and Michigan.
Maybe the selection committee learned a lesson on Big 10.
Sugar Bowl will probably be best bowl game of them all.
