How to win the Sugar Bowl
First, don’t play Wisconsin during the regular season. Then, get invited to the Sugar Bowl and play a perpetually overrated school.
When there, get out-gained, 377 to 184 total yards, get out-rushed, 163 to 56 yards, get out-passed, 214 to 128 yards, and have possession of the ball nearly 14 minutes less than your opponent. And finally, play a team with a third-string place kicker who, after successfully kicking four field goals in regulation, can’t make a 37-yarder in overtime. Yes, it was another day of kicking sensations.
College football — ya gotta love it.

You missed “don’t go to your conference championship game.” Sparty hadn’t lost there, they’d have been in the Sugar. And dominated.
Excellent. Good catch.
living in an area where you have to be EITHER a vols fan or a hokie fan and you cant be both, plus the fact that our blogmaster trained me to be a wolverine fan many years ago……..well this game i loved
Ha! I loved it too, until they actually played.
