ESPN'S TAKE
Rod Gilmore The Hawaii bowl is consistently exciting, but always underrated. Last year UAB and Hawaii combined for 99 points. This year's game produced 97 points and overtime. UCF WR Brandon Marshall was simply amazing with 11 grabs for 200-plus yards and 3 TDs. Credit UCF for bouncing back from Nevada's devastating double tight end formation that led to the Wolf Pack's 10-point lead late in the game. But Nevada allowed the game to get to OT with a lackadaisical effort on UCF's onside kick with less than two minutes remaining. Nevada should have won the game in regulation instead of on a missed PAT in OT. -- Rod Gilmore

Leaders Of The Pack
After letting a late 10-point lead slip away, Nevada looked mortally wounded. But with the help of quarterback Jeff Rowe -- and a little luck in overtime -- the Wolf Pack left Hawaii as top dog. Story
