If you DVD'd the Camellia Bowl with Bowling Green and Southern Alabama and didn't watch it it, you should. It was an entertaining game. Bowling Green had a player ejected, a referee had to leave the game after being hit with an object thrown from the stands, and the Southern Alabama HC was knocked over and kicked in the face by one of his own players. After trailing all game, the Jaguars scored with 1:15 left in the fourth quarter. Their lead lasted 15 seconds as BG hit an unmolested slot receiver on a post pattern on their first play after receiving the ball to win the game. MACtion!
