The Warriors were a turnover machine in the first half, with five interceptions and one fumble. Quarterback Bryant Moniz threw two interceptions on the first two drives, then injured his back on a sack. Backup Shane Austin came on and threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown. Moniz came back in and also threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown.
I wouldn't say the refs handed FIU the game, being that they still had to push down the field and kick a long FG. But they did indeed take it away from Toledo b/c had that 4th down hook and lat ball been placed CORRECTLY, Toledo would have won obviously by kneeling out, but rules are rules and refs are dumb so you get what you get. I, like millions of other college football fans, (FIU Fans Excluded) SAW with my own eyes that there was 'NO GREEN SEEN BETWEEN his foot and the PAINT'. That means he was out of bounds. That rule has been played out a few times in the last 8 bowl games this year. Boise St. TD pass was called back b/c 1/4 of an inch of the receivers pinky toe was touching the paint. Why? B/c that's the rule. If there is no green between the paint and your foot, YOU ARE OUT OF BOUNDS! Seems simple enough right?

I have no idea how Army did that. SMU is clearly the better team and lost to a bunchy of white guys who dont throw the ball.
I agree. Thats how my bowl picks are going though. I couldnt believe that.
