Nice work on the Military Bowl.

[Bob Green]

Independence Bowl is ongoing and commentators highlighted speculation that Miami and Offensive Coordinator Dan Enos are expected to part ways once the game is complete.

It is the time of year when lots of head coaches are looking to make improvements on their staff.

[Bob Green]

Halftime: LA Tech 7, Miami 0

‘Canes Offense looking inept. LA Tech defense displaying exceptional lateral quickness.

[Bob Green]

Final: LA Tech 14, Miami 0

‘Canes with 4 turnovers.

Looks like he "departed" before the game even started. :rolleyes:

[PDDuke85]

Curious if Diaz/Miami are looking from within the ACC Coastal to hire a new OC?

[TKG]

Pitt looking good, so far; down 10 -0 in the 1Q.

[Turk]

Pitt survives Eastern Michigan 34-30 despite being 11 point favorites. QB gets tossed for fighting, was hoping for some 'Pitchy-pitchy-woo woo" on their last play. H2P!

[Acymetric]

Are we even sure Diaz will be there? They might be looking for a new HC soon.

[Bob Green]

QB gets tossed for fighting...

To clarify, it was the Eastern Michigan QB who was tossed.

Would have been disastrous day for ACC to lose a pair to non P5 teams....especially the U getting shut out.

[sagegrouse]

To clarify, it was the Eastern Michigan QB who was tossed.

And he clipped the referee with a punch, and he was knocked flat.

[Acymetric]

He clipped the referee's hat brim. Ref sold it with the flop. ;)

No tears shed here.

[devildeac]

Probably learned it from the "u"nc basketball program :mad:.

[Bob Green]

Carolina strikes first in the Military Bowl to take a 7 - 0 lead over Temple.

Anyone else feel disgust that the cheats are representing the ACC in the Military Bowl?

At least he was trying to hit the OTHER team:

I feel that where/whenever they appear and represent the ACC. :mad:

[Bob Green]

Halftime: Carolina 20, Temple 6

Tar Heels get the ball first in 2nd half.

[Bob Green]

Miami fired Offensive Coordinator Dan Enos today:

[Bob Green]

Wake Forest vs Michigan State about to kick off. Let’s Go Deacs. A conference win over the Big Ten would be nice.

[Bob Green]

Wake draws first blood with a 7 play 65 yard TD drive. Wake ran the ball 6 times and then went over the top with a TD pass.

They made it look easy.

No surprise. They made it look easy in Winston-Salem when they played us, too.

:mad:

[Bob Green]

A good game going at the Pinstripe Bowl.

Halftime: Wake Forest 21, Michigan State 20

[chrishoke]

My brother's Spartans retake the lead 27-21.

[Bob Green]

Final: Michigan State 27, Wake Forest 21

WF shutout in the 2nd half.

[YmoBeThere]

Final: Michigan State 27, Wake Forest 21

WF shutout in the 2nd half.

Sigh, this bowl season will be further evidence that outside of Clemson, ACC football is now the worst of the P5 conferences.

[Mtn.Devil.91.92.01.10.15]

Hard to argue with so far.

[Fish80]

9F.

Should I root for Jimbo Fisher? How far does ACC loyalty go to former ACC coaches and players?

If you’re going to be loyal, be loyal to former Duke DC Jim Knowles who is running the Oklahoma State defense.

[Fish80]

He needs to step up.

[Bob Green]

Miss State up 14-7 on Louisville in the Music City Bowl. Louisville just scored on a double pass.

[HereBeforeCoachK]

I don't doubt the ACC as the worst P5....but this was a very respectable performance.

[Bob Green]

Louisville takes the lead 17-14 with 5 minutes left in 3rd quarter.

[Bob Green]

Louisville rolling...31-14 early in the 4th quarter. 31 unanswered points.

[Bob Green]

Louisville wins 38-28. ACC improves to 4-2 in bowl games.

[wavedukefan70s]

Virginia has to make adjustments .only down 10 at half.

[Acymetric]

Not specific to this game, I see it all the time in college and the pros, but I feel like teams routinely wait too long to start running hurry-up/conserving clock when they are trailing in the 4th quarter.

[jimsumner]

What a way for Bud Foster to go into retirement.

[Bob Green]

What a way for Bud Foster to go into retirement.

Kentucky 37, Virginia Tech 30.

Kentucky executes a 8 and a half minute drive to win. ACC falls to 4-4 in bowl games.

[Bob Green]

Not an ACC game but I am settled in and ready to watch Navy vs Kansas State in the Liberty Bowl.

Go NAVY!

[HereBeforeCoachK]

What a way for Bud Foster to go into retirement.

I think losing to Duke by 35 will stick with him...

[Bob Green]

Navy and Kansas State knotted at 10 at halftime. FSU up 14-12 on Arizona State in El Paso.

[Bob Green]

Flipped my TV over to the Sun Bowl just in time to see FSU QB James Blackmon throw a Pick 6.

ASU 20, FSU 14

[jimsumner]

I think losing to Duke by 35 will stick with him...

Yea. But the Kentucky drive was literally the last time a college team operated against a Bud Foster coached defense and they went 85 yards for the winning score.

[Bob Green]

Liberty Bowl: Navy 20, Kansas State 17

An exciting finish to an excellent football game.

[A-Tex Devil]

Texas killing Utah was unexpected. All this game showed me was how bad a DC Todd Orlando was this year.

Very surprised Utah turtled so quickly. Should have been 38-3.

[Green Wave Dukie]

Tulane about to wrap up the Armed Forces Bowl after spotting USM the first 13 points, then scoring the next 30. Still not a fan of their (putrid) shade of their blue uniforms, but shout out for a dominating performance after the first quarter.
