It took some time, but Matt Stafford heated up down the stretch. Shonn Greene has carried Iowa all season, and the Outback Bowl was no different. The Hawkeyes' back ran for yards and three touchdowns in Iowa's rout of South Carolina. Todd Reesing kept going to the well, and it kept coming up with water. Vanderbilt won a bowl game for the first time in exactly 53 years, with Bryant Hahnfeldt kicking a yard field goal for a win over Boston College in the Music City Bowl.
Depending on the point of view, it was either the ugliest game of the year or a defensive struggle.

He was at his best against Miami, but it was a late defensive play that pushed Cal past the Hurricanes in the Emerald Bowl. Florida State scored on the ground, it scored in the air -- even the defense contributed two TDs.
The end result was a dominating, win for the Seminoles and a forgettable day for Wisconsin. Both North Carolina and West Virginia made big plays and put up plenty of points.
But only one had Pat White. The gifts might be unwrapped, but the area under the bowl tree isn't bare.
Our experts took a look inside the 15 presents left before the new year arrives. Christmas came early for Notre Dame. And the gift under the tree was exactly what the Irish wanted. Notre Dame broke a nine-bowl losing streak with a destruction of Hawaii. The Horned Frogs ran past previously undefeated Boise State for a win. Blog take. Sixty minutes was not enough.
But one overtime was. Gartrell Johnson's career day powered Colorado St. Fresno St. Heather Dinich. The most wonderful time of the year is here. NC State. Oklahoma State. Western Michigan. Air Force.
