Bowl Nerd presents the Hawaii Bowl: SMU vs. Nevada

I was the loser on both sides in this contest, but I have to blame Corso a little bit. He really didn't give me much to work with, particularly with the SMU offense, which is far too prolific and interesting to run the garbage Lee always wants you to run. I probably need to just get better about maybe using a different play on the same page sometimes, or use some audibles a little more often.

SMU 38, Nevada 31
Nevada 34, SMU 26

SMU did not have the freshman QB who played in the actual bowl game as the top guy on the depth chart. Man, that kid was good.

I found Nevada QB Colin Kaepernick a little disappointing to play as. He was pretty hyped up and seemed similar to CMU's Dan LeFevour, with whom I'm very familiar as I always run a dynasty with my alma mater. Even on the video game, Dan was simply superior. Kaepernick seemed slightly above ordinary.

Probably, I should have been able to score a ton with SMU, but didn't. I'm starting to wonder if my skills will improve on this game through this process. One would think they'd have to, right?
