It's easy to be critical of bowl games because there are far too many of them and far too much is made of them. Really, how special can it be if seemingly everybody with half a dozen wins is doing it?

Played against a classic gloomy, gray backdrop that hid the Charlotte skyline, the game delivered what bowl games should deliver - a good time. (Raleigh News & Observer)
