Bowl season began in earnest on Saturday, and so far it has been a very mixed bag. Florida A&M won a dramatic Celebration Bowl over Howard, 30–26, and Jacksonville State completed an impressive first FBS season with a 34–31 overtime win over Louisiana in the New Orleans Bowl.
And then there was the Cure Bowl.
Saturday’s game in Orlando pit the Sun Belt’s Appalachian State against MAC champion Miami (Ohio), but most neutral fans were drawn in by some of the sloppiest weather imaginable for the game.
