Missouri, playing well up to a point, defeated Arkansas, playing disastrously, to hoist the Cotton Bowl trophy and, more importantly, for the first time ever, the Silver Ball. The alleged highlight of this mess was a dramatic series of turnovers, including a fumble by someone returning an interception. Darren McFadden and the Wild Hog formation were almost completely ineffective.
Texas Tech squeaked past Virginia in whatever bowl that was, but the best part was that Virginia had 21 points at half time. Glancing at the box score, I was surprised to see that they had scored 9 points in the first quarter, and 12 in the second. Surely the 21 was not made up of seven field goals? No. It went like this: touchdown, safety, touchdown, safety, field goal. I am disappointed they did not manage a defensive conversion in the second half.
About Hawaii's bid to remain undefeated, the less said the better.
