Glendale, AZ – In a game that was one for the ages, the 2009 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl wasn’t without drama. After a sloppily played first half, Colt McCoy and his Longhorns teammates began hooking the Bucks. The second half was an old-fashioned western shootout with both offenses clicking, but with McCoy gun-slinging the ball, he gave #3 Texas a 17-6 lead. With OSU going to a two quarterback system, Senior Todd Beckman and Freshman Terrelle Pryor, the Buckeyes began what looked to be a comeback that would give the Big 10 a win. On Texas’ last possession of the game, McCoy proved to shoot the last bullet out of his gun that would give his team a less then convincing 24-21 win.
Sheriff’s Note: That leaves the Utah Utes having gone undefeated at 13-0, but because of college footballs boneheaded BCS system we have to listen to more whining and crying about coaches’ polls and AP National Champions. College football should take a lesson from March Madness and have a field of teams compete for one championship. Just because Utah goes undefeated, you mean to tell me that the Utes aren’t better than Florida or Oklahoma? The BCS should examine itself, and once the season is over, crown one champion. Sure you’re going to get a AP Nation Champion and fraudulent BCS Champion, and whoever wins the trophy should ship it off to Salt Lake City. There is only one National Champion, and I think the Utah Utes got royally stepped on.
