Sorry if this has already been posted. I looked and didn't see it. On ESPN.com in the Forde Yard Dash section (Pat Forde) there's little snippet on each bowl and the expected victor. But there's also a nice video of Pat Forde talking to Ivan Maisel and it starts with a picture of MJ and an LSU player and the very first minute Pat asks Ivan for his bowl wish list and the first thing is that he wants to see "Georgia Tech and that wonderful option offense that Paul Johnson has brought."

Another accolade, this one from Sportsline and I didn't think it deserved its own thread:

How did LSU's defense get this bad in a year? Statistically, it went from third to 36th in total defense. Aesthetically, it went from a pack of wolves under Bo Pelini to a group that looks slow and out of step. That 7-5 record wasn't all the quarterback's fault.

With a bowl game as the backdrop, that quarterback, Jarrett Lee, unofficially begins his hunt for a new school. Really, how does this guy stay around? He played bad. He got bad coaching. Les Miles is bringing in quality recruits and already has Jordan Jefferson.

This is not a good matchup. LSU's defense is confused enough and will get a heavy dose of 2009 Heisman hopeful Jonathan Dwyer.

Granted, 98% of the "analysis" talks about LSU, but it's not too often a Tech player and Heisman are in the same sentence.
