PHOENIX — Michigan State's Mark Dantonio and TCU's Gary Patterson have so much in common when it comes to their football philosophies that they became fast friends years ago while attending Nike-sponsored functions while both were still coaching in Conference USA.

But when it came to identifying the key to winning Saturday night's Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl, the coaches differed slightly.

Let's say full-length articles. Not any real news except the turf toe injury to the CB. Then "both teams have great defenses and so-so offenses and small things will be the differences. At least the article about Verrett was a different article from what has been said over and over and over again. We have already heard several times what the coaches say is the keys, etc...

A good article today, with something new beside what we have already heard again and again....certainly not zippo. Less articles, more meat the last two days with the FWST.
