Sugar Bowl Review

Well there goes the whole wrong team got the fourth seed argument.

Ohio State wins 42-35 over Alabama pulling an upset few would have figured because if you have three QBs, doesn't that mean you really don't have one? 

More importantly there was some sneaky fantasy points to be had - although the participants either performed way below their draft position (RB TJ Yeldon), way above it (RB Ezekiel Elliot, QB Blake Sims) or just about right (WR Amani Cooper).

One of the better performances of the game came from Derrick Henry who went undrafted but was an injury fill-in for the Herbie team and proceeded to look like the reincarnation of Eddie Lacy. 

But it was Elliot who stole the show with a Sugar Bowl record 230 yards and two touchdowns. 

Weird stat alert: Nick Sa(tan) is 0-3 in Sugar Bowls - losing to Oklahoma last year and to Utah in 2009.
