After seeing how our opponents fared in their bowl games, I think we have even more reason to be proud of this year's team and excited about next year's prospects. Houston thoroughly embarrassed Penn State. Miss State and S. Miss. won their bowls. Except for maybe the Hawaii game, we shouldn't be ashamed of this year's losses.
Those Penn State players whined for two weeks that Houston and the Ticket City Bowl were beneath them and they deserved a higher profile bowl and a "worthier" opponent. They got their comeuppance.
