Well compared to the Rose Bowl this BCS game was to me dull. I am not a fan of either team but wanted to see how Cincinnati would do with Brian Kelly gone. How would Florida do with Urban Meyer's announcement??
Unfortunately for Cincinnati this was an embarrassing game. Would it have made a difference that Brian Kelly was there? Would it have mattered that the interim coach had been hired as the head coach? Would it have mattered if Cincinnati was playing for the National Title?? I don't know to be honest with you. I think that with all that happened at the end of the season there very well could have been a let down on Cincinnati's side. You never know how a team will respond to such an emotional event.
Look at Florida, they came out on fire. Is Florida that much better than Cincinnati? Is the Big East that bad?? Where was the offense that was showing on the field tonight? That defense was awesome; was the one suspended player for the SEC Championship Game that big a difference in this game? Is the SEC just that far ahead of the other conferences? Again I don't know. One game does not give you the answer.
Take heart though Cincinnati, look at what has happened to Ohio State in the past. Today they beat Oregon and won a BCS bowl. Look to your future. What happened yesterday is in the past. I hope those underclassmen get to work to prove a point next year.
Florida, way to show up for this game. You very easily could have had a letdown after not playing in the BCS National Championship but you didn't. Gator fans the future is bright in Gainesville look out SEC. But again where was this offense and defense against Alabama? That could mean that Alabama is really really good and Texas could be in real trouble.
However you play the games on the field and never know what could happen during a game. I would have liked to see how TCU stacked up against Florida during this game though. But here's to the next BCS game and hopefully a non blow-out.
