TJ McDonald almost single handedly won the game.. Dude's hit on Evans (?), was brutal at the end...With the injury and no time outs left for the Buccs, that 10 second run off iced it.....So good!

Close.... Last start was 12/24/2011 in the Hawaii Bowl against Nevada. Davis led Southern Miss to a 24-17 victory ending his Senior Season with a 12-2 record.

It was definitely a big game for those refs. I am not sure if the refs or McCown got the Bucs more 1st downs. At least we can credit them in the end though.
