This is the team’s third bowl trip in three years, which may not turn some heads, but a little perspective, please. When your program made one such trip in its entire Football Bowl Subdivision existence before Clark arrived – even though that existence didn’t begin until 1996 – 3 for 3 is kind of a big deal.
