We had a coach the players respected leaving, we got relegated to the öööötiest bowl possible except maybe Shreveport, etc. Yeah the players were not motivated to play well.
ACC should have slotted us to the bowl in BC, can’t remember the name maybe Armed Forces or something. The Navy/DC draw would have been huge. A great send off for a HOF coach. Instead we grabbed our ankles and let the ACC plow our 5 hole and sent CPJ off in the worst way possible. No celebrations, no recognition of a great career, etc. Go to Detroit and eat öööö and leave. Crap game in crap venue in crap city on crap day with no fan interest.
