Tonight was a missed opportunity, no getting around it. Yes the team on the other side was undefeated. Yes, the team on the other side a is a national championship caliber team. Yes, the team on the other side is drowning in talent and has depth at multiple positions....but you can’t let a third string QB come in and outplay your starter for a conference crown, and that's what happened tonight.
While the loss to Florida State in the ACC Championship is still fresh (and I’ll have some more thoughts as the weeks leading up to the bowl happen), let me take a minute to help put things in perspective and hopefully bring you down from a ten to about a seven as the days pass, knowing many won’t read this until the sun comes up on Sunday morning.
