He didn't play well. But we've seen him crush the opponent in a far larger Bowl game the year before.
Thank God he had that bad game, though. It helped flush out the idiots that were just laying in the weeds desperately waiting for the kid to be something less than superhuman.

I don't think a QB's final college game should be viewed as an "irrelevant exhibition game". Teams want to win their bowl games. Smith made it a point of saying how much he studied Syracuse and wanted to beat them. No college player wants to leave scouts with a sour taste in their mouth.
2 iffy weather games for Smith (Tx Tech wind and Syracuse) and he wasn't able to show that he could drive the ball very well.
