Hyundai Sun Bowl: My Final NCAA Game

It's funny that my first and last bowl games were against Clemson in the Sun Bowl.

#25 UCLA 14-17-10-0
Clemson 14-10-7-21

Final:
#25 UCLA 41
Clemson 52

Passing:
13-25, 471 YDS, 3 TD, 3 INT

Rushing:
40 YDS, 1 TD

My last game was fun, but disappointing. We lost in a shootout 52-41.

Ross proved himself as a dominant player this year. He is by far the best prospect now.

Draft Prediction: 1st Round

Texans Draft Room:
"I think we're gonna take Clowney."
"No! Take Ross! We need a QB! Clowney will do nothing. Ross is the future I'm telling you!"
"Are we in agreement? We gotta agree on a guy!"
"Ross is the guy. Trust me."
"Ok. Ross is our pick."

And so started my NFL career as the #1 pick.
