I realize I'm biased but Idon't think there will be a better Bowl game this year.

"Things kept going south for the Mountaineers in the second half, as Ohio linebacker Jovon Johnson just flat out took the ball from Appalachian State quarterback Taylor Lamb for a touchdown"

WRONG!!! You fail!!!

Kind of an odd place for the "too many bowls" line, given that this game was 10-2 vs. 8-4. There was also a 6-6 vs. 5-7 game Saturday.

There are too many bowls and the 6-6 vs. 5-7 is what proves it. At 10 -2 we merely prove that we belong in one. If we are ever 5-7 I would hope we would decline.

I took as this is a new bowl in only the second year for conferences that previously did not have enough tie-ins. I did not see anything negative here (other than the Lamb getting stripped error). I mean even at 10-2 we would not have made a bowl in the days when they numbered in the 20's.

If we are being critical about the accuracy of the article, the first fumble was unforced (as opposed to article stating it was a forced). I don't want to take anything away from Ohio but that was an early Christmas gift.
