I've been entirely out of internet connectivity for much of the past two weeks, so I apologize in advance for the staleness of this news, but let me just say Penn State put a good lockdown on Tennessee to win the Outback Bowl. Sure, Penn State's offense scores about as often as a frat boy at a Mensa convention, but their defense is where it's at. What did Tennessee rush for? Oh yeah, 83 yards. Tony Hunt himself had 158 yards.
The biggest disappointment of the bowl season was Florida State beating UCLA. Leave it to the lackluster Bruins, who could go out and beat a champion calibre team like USC late in the season, to pull a stunning choke against one of the worst teams to be playing in a bowl this year.
Speaking of bad, how about that beating LSU administered on Notre Dame? I'm glad at least one commentator has the good sense to realize that Notre Dame got a BCS bowl because of its name and not its team. I am looking forward to next fall, when ND visits Happy Valley.

As you should, seeing that ND loses Brady Quinn, Jeff Samardzija, Tom Zbikowski (sp?), and a whole slew of others-- maybe next year Penn State won't get slaughtered. :)
The ND loss was indeed PSU's worst of the year; it was the only time the defense didn't show up. I wonder if you put those three players on one side of a scale and Charlie Weis on the other which one would be heavier...
