How uneventful was that? Two of the most potent regular season offenses. Two of the best college Q's surrounded by some of the most athletic and talented offensive personnel in college football and we get 38 points...total.
You seriously need to rethink your ridiculous bowl scheduling. Some 25 days after these teams finish their regular season they play for the championship??? In case you have never played big time college sports, I'll clue you in. EVERY team sport (hoops, football, volleyball, etc) depends on timing, communication and a familial like synchronicity with your teammates. These are honed day in day out in practice and then refined during the game...like clockwork.
When you preempt that clockwork with two eventful Holiday's and NO GAMES you totally throw off the teams timing, communication and synchronicity. This then shows up in dropped balls, muffed kicks, slack routes, fumbles, turnovers, etc. Which then results in a crappy game.
I know it's about money and not the hard work or the bruises, bumps and broken bones these guys sustain throughout the year. But if you can see past the green for a second I would implore you to talk to the players and coaches of both the winning and losing teams tonight and see how their performance was affected with the 3+ week BCS imposed sabbatical.
Sincerely,
