UK does not get to a bowl game this year but for Eddie Gran and Lynn Bowden revamping the offense into a ground attack spread option. Lynn strapped this team to his back and the offensive line (and WRs) did a masterful job at creating opportunities and Lynn looked like a Heisman athlete, and would have been in the discussion had he had a whole season like this at QB.
Therefore, I hope Mark Stoops declares this Bowden's Bowl, regardless of what happens this weekend from a W/L perspective.
Mark should tell Lynn that Lynn's role in the bowl game is purely up to Lynn. If Lynn wants to play QB and continue this ride and have his day, so be it. If Lynn wants to go back to WR and potentially have a big day as a WR, to leave that last taste in the NFL scouts mouths, so be it. Gran has 15 days to install whichever Lynn wants.
The bowl is about the extra practice and preparing young players for the spring and next season. I would let Lynn decide what offense we play and his role. He deserves that, IMO.
