Cam Ward and the Hurricanes went up against the Iowa State Cyclones in the Pop-Tarts Bowl at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, looking to end their thrilling 2024 season on a winning note.
On one offensive play, Ward took the snap and patiently waited while the Cyclones’ three-man rush gave him all day to throw. He even got to stand still for a second before checking it down:

That’s a count of five Mississippis between the time Cam Ward took the snap and the time he got rid of it. Hopefully he gave his offensive linemen some nice holiday gifts, seeing how Ward was only sacked 22 times in the regular season.
