Alright, so Camerun Peoples rushed for 317 yards and five touchdowns on the totally, predictably porous North Texas Mean Green, and Appalachian St. Mountaineers cruised to a 56-28 win in the Myrtle Beach Bowl over hapless under .500 competition.
Moving on.
We’re rewarded with TWO bowl games today, and.guys, these should be fun. Lots of “Who knows?” in the mid-afternoon opener, with ALL THE POINTS from Boca Raton. I’m fortunate enough that my gal will be upstairs with

College football s only real major upset occurred deep in the night Saturday, and boy, it was a biggie as Florida went down to LSU.
The rest of the weekend went pretty much as expected.
It was a weekend where a couple of nice stories in 2020 were exposed (Colorado and Miami), but another pair continued their storybook years (Coastal Carolina and San Jose State). Finally, history was made that spanned gender and nationality.
There may not have been as many exciting upsets as we re used to, but there were a lot of reasons to love the action that took place in a jam-packed three days of games. There were a lot of cancellations that robbed us of important matchups such as Ohio State-Michigan, Oregon-Washington and others.
