Winner, winner, chicken dinner!  That was when they had Big Ben at QB.  He was a freshman and the Redchickens were ranked, finished at #10, I think it was. 

Bonus point: which bowl game?

And Ben was a junior in 03, not a frosh.

Well, you are right, I was going from memory, always a questionable thing when you're my advanced age.  Here's the story according to the always semi-accurate wikipedia:

"As a redshirt freshman, Roethlisberger threw for over 3,100 yards. In 2002, he threw more than 3,200 yards, and in 2003, he threw more than 4,400 yards. In 2003, Roethlisberger led the Miami RedHawks to an unbeaten record in the MAC, a No. 10 ranking in the Associated Press poll and a 49-28 victory over Louisville in the 2003 GMAC Bowl.[6]"  (TCU was supposed to play in that game.)

Don't really understand what the "sigh" is about.
