Didn't have the sound on but the QB from Iowa State is from Wesley Chapel according to one of the graphics I saw.

Went to Wiregrass Ranch.    Anthony Becht's (former Buc TE) kid

They are as indicative as any other game of the season IMO. How good a team is is not determined from the result of a single game, but the culmination of the season and the visual and statistical growth that occurs throughout the year, hopefully resulting in increased program awareness and subsequent higher level recruiting.

Pretty sure watching Ohio State play with their 3rd string QB at the helm is not indicative of what they were overall this season

Should have waited a few minutes. You would have saved me looking him up. Barely remember his dad's name from the Bucs.

Started off with the Jets and bounced around some after his Bucs days.  Think he did TV at some point also.  Started doing these football camps and I think he ran an elite qb camp for kids also

Unless it's a playoff game, really can't agree with that all .......... now more than ever. A lot of time in bowls the teams are in two totally different "places", with ours being a perfect example, and the results usually show that.

In this new world of college football, in a lot of cases, coaches will more and more embrace the exhibition aspect of the bowl game to try and evaluate players to replace the ones leaving.

Exactly, e.g., our bowl experience with a mid-level ACC team vs. SMU's.

And UGAs experience against a mid level FSU team.
