    He wanted to set a record before he quit.

    Go for it but I can't quite dance on Miami's grave because they still had a 10 win season, plus they beat us - badly, and to be honest here they would have won tonight except for their selfish starting QB.

    So, the team that thought they should have been in the playoffs, lost 3 of their last 4 games?

    Sounds like someone peaked in week one.

    The more I think about this though Ward probably should have completely opted out of a somewhat meaningless bowl game where he was not going to raise his stock, I don't think setting the record does either and in fact quitting after setting a personal goal is arguably worse!

    Sitting out and watching his team lose is what is wrong with college football these days. That is all.

    Yes a 10 win season but most of those wins were in the ACC (Anemic Coast Conference). They ended the year 1- 3. Yes they beat us early in the season but we are 8-5 with probably the hardest schedule, we trended up where as um trended down and I'm sure you would agree with me our future looks a whole lot brighter.

    I would say it’s inarguably worse. You don’t march into battle with your team just to tuck tail at the halfway point after reaching a personal goal.

    You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender! I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it.

    They should be happy he even suited up for a half, they would’ve lost by 20 if he didn’t suit up at all

    I didn't watch the game until the end. Did he really just dial it in and bench himself?
