His former RB

Lol at that ungrateful scrub. Leach got way more out of him then anyone else would. Borghi had almost 90 catches this year, who cares if they aren’t rushes as long as you are getting the touches. Dude is 5'9'' 170, the fukk he expect to be running the ball 20+ times a game for? Nah son sit down you're a 3rd down RB at best in a traditional offense. The only reason he played so much is because he can catch, he should be thanking Leach

I know they're exhibitions but these bowl numbers are sad.
I dont think people have the income like they used to to travel and also there are other things folks would rather do for entertainment than go sit in the semi cold and watch teams who all year theyve been told are trash.
It's too many bowls and that hog has been slaughtered.

It also reinforces the playoff committee dissing them small schools and no name schools. They dont sell and they're trying to make money for the cities, the venues and ESPN.

The Associated Press analyzed attendance numbers for 33 second- and third-tier Bowl Subdivision bowl games this season. The analysis did not include the so-called New Year's Six bowls because year-to-year comparisons are difficult since those games are part of the College Football Playoff semifinals rotation. Among the findings:

— 23 of the 33 games were played at venues where the announced attendance was less than 75% of capacity. Of those 23, eight were under 50%.

— Six bowl games this season had their smallest crowds on record: New Mexico, Cure, Camellia, Pinstripe, First Responder and Famous Idaho Potato.

— Average announced attendance was 34,595, 1 percent higher than 34,215 last season (the 2018-19 average was based on 32 games because the First Responder Bowl was canceled because of weather). The increase can be attributed to the Gator Bowl's announced crowd of 38,206 for Texas A&M-North Carolina State in 2018 growing to 61,789 for Tennessee-Indiana.

— Announced attendance figures sometimes differed widely from actual attendance. For example, the Las Vegas Bowl had an announced attendance of 34,197, but the scanned ticket count provided to the AP by the stadium owner, UNLV, was 16,568. The Birmingham Bowl announced 27,193 while actual attendance was 9,679. The New Mexico Bowl announced a crowd of 18,823; a San Diego Union-Tribune reporter at the game estimated actual attendance at 6,000.

— Of the 33 bowls, 26 existed in the 2013 season, the year before the CFP. Eleven of those 26 had attendance declines of more than 10% in the 2014 season. In the last six years, five of those 26 bowls have not matched the attendance recorded in 2013; eight others have hit their 2013 figure only once.

— Proximity can help: The Gasparilla Bowl in Tampa featured nearby UCF and a record announced crowd of 28,987 showed up. The Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit set a record of 34,765 with Eastern Michigan playing. The Texas Bowl in Houston drew 68,415 — 16,000 more than last year — because Texas A&M was there and played former Big 12 rival Oklahoma State.

— New Year's Six games that didn't host CFP semifinals, and were not included in the AP's analysis, took a hit this year. TV viewership for all four was down. The Cotton Bowl between Penn State and Memphis drew 54,828, the smallest crowd since 1948. The Sugar Bowl between Georgia and Baylor had 55,211, the third time since 2013 the crowd has not reached 60,000.

if you look at the major bad ones, location and teams play a factor, you think it’s a bunch of folks that want to travel to New Mexico or Idaho/ny for a bowl game in the early parts of the winter and i think most folk ain’t motivated to travel like that before
