BOSTON — A lot of young football players have growing pains as they adjust to college, the loaded schedule of practices, workouts and classes, the intense competition to get on the field because, after all, everyone on an FBS roster was a star in high school.

MIAMI — They should have put Cam Ward back in. This Miami Hurricanes football season that sagged so badly at the end needed this bowl win. And Ward, who gave everything in his one year in Coral Gables, deserved the chance to go out a hero.
