Cincy is playing with a fiery attitude on defense. Seems like they have four guys on the tackle most times.

Ben Mauk and receivers are playing like hodini escaping tackles and splitting receivers.

Can't believe Southern Miss let head coach Bower go. Guess they just needed change. Maybe a good thing for Bower also, he can reignite some lucky team if smart enough to hire him.

Jeff Bower of Southern Miss on his last game. I tell you one thing, if Bower gets on in a coaching in a BCS conference, watch out!!
He gave Louisville all they could handle when we played him.

Give him a higher teir of recruiting, someone's going to get the right coach.
Hope he doesn't come to the Big East so Louisville won't have to play against him.

And that winds up being the final, 31-21 Cincinnati.

According to the Associated Press, "[Bearcats QB Ben] Mauk passed for 334 yards and four touchdowns, and DeAngelo Smith intercepted three passes Saturday, leading the Bearcats to a 31-21 victory over Southern Miss in the Papajohns.com Bowl... The victory gave Cincinnati (10-3) its second 10-win season and first since 1951, while virtually assuring a spot in the final rankings for the first time." Way to go, Cincy!
