While bowl games may be relatively forgettable to some big-time programs left out of the College Football Playoff and New Year's Six games, they clearly meant a lot to some teams enjoying the national spotlight provided by a postseason platform.
Another significant regional outcome came a week later, when South Carolina edged North Carolina in the Duke's Mayo Bowl to finish with a record in Shane Beamer's first season as head coach.
While there was plenty of discussion about the flaws of the bowl game system as some coaches left their teams for new jobs and some players opted out, it was clear in the celebrations of most victors who got one last chance to play came with plenty of meaning.
We covered all the action here, and you can relive the big moments of bowl season by scrolling through for analysis and highlights from all the action. The penultimate game of the FBS college football season turned out to be a snooze-fest. Wildcats running back Deuce Vaughn got loose to the tune of rushing yards and four total touchdowns -- three rushing, one receiving -- in a stellar performance for the consensus All-American.
Yes, this was a blowout, but there was still plenty of intrigue, particularly on the LSU side. Interim coach Brad Davis had just 38 scholarship players on the sideline, none of whom were quarterbacks.
The game was difficult for Ole Miss to swallow, however, as star quarterback Matt Corral was knocked out of the game in the first quarter after injuring his right leg on a sack. The play came on third down when defensive end Cole Maxwell hit Corral and his leg appeared to buckle. Ole Miss missed a field goal on the next play. True freshman Luke Altmyer came in and played admirably in relief, throwing for for yards and a touchdown on 15 of 29 passing. However, Baylor's defense was dominant against an overmatched Rebels offensive line, posting 10 sacks, breaking up seven passes and forcing three interceptions against Corral and Altmyer combined.
Cornerback Al Walcott caught an interception off a Matt Jones tip and took it 96 yards for the first score of the game.
Baylor running back Abram Smith rushed for yards on 25 carries to break the program record for single-season yards rushing, passing Terrance Ganaway's mark. Quarterback Gerry Bohanon struggled, completing 7 of 17 passes for 40 yards. However, he motioned Tyquan Thornton into a throw for a two-yard touchdown to put the game out of reach in the fourth quarter. Freshman Monaray Baldwin scored the Bears' other touchdown on a sweep. Ole Miss' defense played good situational football, holding the Bears without a third-or fourth-down conversion through the first half.
However, the Bears finished the game converting 7 of 15 third downs. Ole Miss converted 5 of 6 fourth-down attempts, but missed two field goals that could have kept the game manageable. Ultimately, the floodgates opened as Baylor rushed for yards in a physically dominant performance. In a Rose Bowl Game that will live for the ages, No. This incredible game saw Ohio State's offense rewrite the record books and come back to win in the fourth quarter after trailing nearly the entire evening.
OSU clinched its victory with a yard drive in the game's final minute that set up a go-ahead yard field goal with nine seconds left. Utah took control early, jumping out to a lead in the first quarter. Then both teams combined for six touchdowns in the second quarter, setting the scene for what would be a wild back-and-forth affair over the game's final 30 minutes.
It wasn't until Ohio State quarterback C. Stroud hit wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba for a yard touchdown with left to play that the Buckeyes took their first lead of the game at It was the third time Stroud and Smith-Njigba hooked up for a score, and it was just the tip of the iceberg.
Stroud finished with yards passing and six TDs. Smith-Njigba caught 15 balls for yards and three TDs, setting Ohio State records for most receiving yards in a season as well as receptions in a single season.
Wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. For Utah, the game slipped away in the fourth quarter when QB Cam Rising left following what looked to be a concussion. Rising's head hit the turf after being sacked, and he laid motionless on his back for a few minutes before getting up and walking off the field on his own.
His backup, Bryson Barnes, led a game-tying touchdown drive in the final minutes, before the game-deciding field goal. Rising finished the day with yards passing and two touchdowns while also leading the Utes in rushing with 92 yards and a score. The Fighting Irish came out blazing on offense against Oklahoma State's highly-ranked defense with quarterback Jack Coan rolling up yards and four touchdowns in the first half.
Notre Dame built up a with just over a minute left in the second quarter, but a quick Oklahoma State score before halftime and an impressive drive to start the third quarter quickly cut the lead to But while the Cowboys offense finally got into a rhythm, it was assisted by an Oklahoma State defense that made the necessary halftime adjustments to slow down Coan and the Notre Dame offense. The Irish signal-caller may have had yards and four touchdowns in the first half -- numbers that were already good enough for the best performance by a quarterback against Oklahoma State this season -- but he had just 40 passing yards in the third quarter.
It should be noted Coan did finish the game with yards and an impressive effort late in the fourth quarter, setting a Fiesta bowl passing record with the performance. The play of the game might have come early in the fourth quarter when All-American safety Kolby Harvell-Peel crashed in to make a stop on Notre Dame freshman running back Logan Diggs and stripped the ball free before he was brought to the ground. Even though Notre Dame would get the ball right back with a forced fumble at the goal line, the loss of field position and the impact it had on Oklahoma State's confidence set the tone for the fourth quarter.
The previous record for the biggest comeback in Oklahoma State history was 20 points -- in against Colorado. Kentucky nearly blew a point halftime lead but Wan'Dale Robinson and Chris Rodriguez helped lead a game-winning touchdown drive in the final minutes to secure the Citrus Bowl victory against Iowa. Robinson was the star of the game, pulling 10 catches for yards including some incredible grabs on the game-winning drive. More than half of Will Levis' pass completions went to Robinson, and his performance against a very good Iowa pass defense made up nearly two quarters of scoreless football from the Kentucky offense in the second half.
Iowa had the opposite game flow offensively, stuck in the mud in the first half and then finally putting things together for two touchdown drives near the end of the third quarter and beginning of the fourth quarter.
But ultimately three Iowa turnovers kept the Hawkeyes from being able to claim the win, as the Wildcats picked off Spencer Petras in the final minute to seal the win.
This is Kentucky's fourth straight bowl win under Mark Stoops, who has gotten the Wildcats to the postseason every years since Box Score. Penn State, which was missing a number of starters -- particularly on the defensive side of the ball -- came out strong to start but seemed to run out of gas in the second half.
The Nittany Lions were up at halftime, but the Razorbacks took control with a point third quarter and it was all she wrote. The Razorbacks struggled early a bit themselves, as the offense seemed unsure of itself with star receiver Treylon Burks opting out of the game. The Hogs then began to lean on their ground game with quarterback K. Jefferson and a host of backs, and it was effective against a thin Penn State defense.
Jefferson finished with yards rushing and only threw for 90 yards, while Dominique Johnson, Raheim Sanders and Malik Hornsby combined for yards rushing as the Razorbacks rushed for yards as a team. In there like swimwear pic. As for Penn State, it was its own worst enemy at times.
The Nittany Lions managed only three points out of three red-zone trips, and failed to take advantage of two Arkansas red-zone turnovers.
Brock Bowers just went bulldozer mode for a TD pic. Facing a point deficit and a nearing fourth quarter, Georgia went for it on 4th-and-9 at Alabama's yard line after a potential touchdown pass on third down from Stetson Bennett IV to Brock Bowers was knocked out of his hands. On fourth down, Bennett lofted a pass that fell incomplete and the Bulldogs committed a turnover on downs, giving the ball back to the Crimson Tide. With Georgia driving to try to cut into Alabama's two-possession lead, Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett IV threw an interception on 2nd-and-9 at Alabama's yard line, as Alabama's DeMarcco Hellams jumped a pass intended for Brock Bowers, who appeared to cut off his route.
The Crimson Tide marched down the field with a five-play, yard drive that ended with a yard touchdown pass from Bryce Young to Jameson Williams. It's now , Alabama. No one had scored more than 17 points against Georgia, but No. After falling behind by a double-digit margin, No.
Stetson Bennett writes the final chapter of the best storybook tale in Georgia football history. It's the SEC's world. The rest of college football is just losing in it.
