Memorable Games:
2014: Notre Dame 31, LSU 28. Notre Dame kicked a last second field goal to win this record breaking game with
the largest lead only being 3 points. Altogether, ten different Bowl records were broken; six of them were by
the same person (Fournette, LSU).
2012: Hometown Vanderbilt wrapped up its best season since 1915 and won nine games for only the third time
ever, with Jordan Rodgers throwing for two scores and running for another in a 38-24 victory over North
Carolina State.
2010: North Carolina 30, Tennessee 27 (2OT). North Carolina won in double overtime after a controversial penalty
that stopped the clock and allowed UNC to kick a field goal that sent the game into overtime. The bowl set
records for attendance and TV ratings as 69,143 people packed the stands and it scored a 4.92 rating on ESPN.
2007: Kentucky 35, Florida State 28. A then record-setting crowd of 68,661 was in attendance and was not
disappointed, with a high-scoring affair that featured nearly 1,000 yards of total offense.
2008: Vanderbilt 16, Boston College 14. Vanderbilt made its first bowl appearance since 1982 and did it at home,
with the commodores winning their first bowl in 53 years by upsetting Boston College.
2000: West Virginia 49, Ole Miss 38. Ole Miss put in freshman quarterback Eli Manning in the second half after
trailing 35-9 at halftime and Manning completed 12-of-20 passes for 167 yards and three scores and led his
team to 22 unanswered fourth-quarter points. Although Ole Miss didn’t win, this was considered Manning’s
coming-out party. West Virginia gave retiring coach Don Nehlen his final career victory.
