AutoZone Liberty Bowl: Zach Collaros' Comeback Sparks Bearcats
In the grand scheme of things, Cincinnati's match-up with the Vanderbilt Commodores in the 2011 Liberty Bowl didn't mean a whole lot. The Bearcats were going for their 10th win of the season and their first bowl victory since 2007. For a program that is two years removed from back-to-back appearances in BCS games, that's a little "meh."
