Big difference between Chapman and Woodson.

I was talking about Illinois' QB Backup Jeff George Jr, who took over for Lunt starting in later October, and went 5/16 passing with 4 INTs in the Wisconsin game.

You were talking about not playing Akron at their worst. The Zips weren't as good without Woodson.

Oooh, you were referring to Akron -- gotcha. Yeah, something to consider, for the 1st 1/3rd of the season with him. They still put up 35pts on Miami after all that to win it, and beat BSU. Woodson still played QB when they got Thumped by Buffalo, though in their 4-game losing streak to end the season.

Woodson "played". Woodson was clearly bothered by injury and honestly didn't even look remotely like the same player that hung all those points on Marshall or App State. If it wasn't for the name on the back of the jersey, I wouldn't have even known they were the same player.

Here's the order of MAC bowl selections for this year, according to the Toledo Blah...http://www.bcsn.tv/news_article/show/732601

1) Camellia Bowl
2) Dollar General
3) Bahamas
4) Idaho > St. Pete
5) Miami

Quote:This season, the Camellia Bowl, in conjunction with ESPN Events, which owns and operates the bowl, had the first selection of a MAC school. Once Western Michigan went the Cotton Bowl, ESPN Events and bowl officials felt Toledo was the best fit for a good matchup with Appalachian State....The next selection was the Dollar General Bowl, which took MAC East champion Ohio. Eastern Michigan was the next pick and is going to the Bahamas Bowl. The next selection after that would have been the Idaho Potato Bowl, but that was vacated to allow Idaho to play in that game. That opened up a spot in the St. Petersburg Bowl for Miami. The final MAC selection was the Miami Beach Bowl, which chose Central Michigan.
