We suck in bowls. Mullen actually has the 3O inb his playbook. I'm not at all confident about this matchup.

The only thing I am worried about is that our D has sucked against the read option all year. I expect Dak to have a big game. Our OLB have to get better at slipping blocks if we want to hold MSU under 30.
When have you been confident about a big game this year?
The W-L record in bowls is obviously what it is, but I don't think we are nearly as bad as it's made out to be.
2008 - only really horrible game
2009 - Iowa NFL D
2010 - We were 6-6 playing an option team with our backup QB
2011 - this game should have been a W. Lost in OT
2012 - Win
2013 - Vad Lee experiment fail
I'm probably rationalizing, but I don't think our bowl record is at all relevant this year.
FSU.
I thought for sure Winston would take a quarter off and throw us at least one ball.
That's pretty much it. I was not confident for:
VPISU
Miami
Duke
Clemson
UGA
(I actually was confident for UNC, but that's not a big game IMO)
As accurately alluded to above by others .. "beej's confidence" is not a great indicator of outcome.
