My beloved Tigers won the Independence Bowl this afternoon. They beat the South Carolina Gamecocks 38-31! But what makes it even more impressive is the Tigers coming from a 28-7 deficit to win the game!
Brad Smith the Tigers QB was awesome! He had over 400 total yards of offense but even more impressively was his performance in the second half. He threw for a touchdown and ran for two more as the Tigers won their first bowl game since 1998.
As a Tiger Fan I am willing to give coach Gary Pinkel another year at the helm. He and his staff certainly adjusted at halftime today to win the bowl game. And with 17 of 22 starters returning I can hardly wait for the new college football season to begin! Yes, Mizzou will lose Brad Smith but Chase Daniel will get er done against the rest of the Big 12.
So to wrap this up congratulations to the Tigers, Gary Pinkel and Brad Smith and the defense that played one heck of a game in the second half!
MIZZOU-RAH TIGERS!!!
