Miramar’s Geno Smith threw six touchdown passes, and receiver Stedman Bailey was part of an offense that put up a bowl-record 70 points.

When Geno Smith and Stedman Bailey came home from West Virginia for the holidays, they organized a little touch football game with a few of their old neighborhood friends to make sure they wouldn’t get rusty during their brief layoff before the Orange Bowl.

All-American cornerback Tracy Howard, the latest star at Miramar, as well as Miami Norland running back Duke Johnson showed up to try and provide a little competition.

Odds are, those high school kids provided a tougher test than Clemson did Wednesday night. Smith and the 23rd-ranked Mountaineers (10-3) had their way with the Tigers like few offenses ever have in a BCS Bowl game, setting all kinds of postseason records in their 70-33 blowout.

At the end of the night, Smith finished 31 of 42 for 401 yards and six touchdown passes. He also scored on a 7-yard touchdown run and added 26 yards on the ground — giving him 427 yards of total offense, a West Virginia bowl record.

Eight different receivers caught passes for the Mountaineers. None of them had a bigger night, though, than Tavon Austin, who hauled in four of those touchdown passes to set an Orange Bowl and BCS record. Austin finished with 11 catches for 117 yards.

Smith’s career-high six TD passes surpassed the Orange Bowl record set by USC’s Matt Leinart in the 2005 game. Smith’s 401 yards passing yards eclipsed Tom Brady’s 369 yards set against Alabama in 2000.

Smith, a kid who grew up down the street from Sun Life Stadium and used to watch Super Bowls and national championship games on the Jumbotron screens from the hood of his mother’s car, might not have come close to setting those records had Clemson not “trimmed” West Virginia’s lead to 63-26 in the third quarter.

With 4:53 to play in the third quarter and the Mountaineers up 63-20, West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen pulled Smith for backup Paul Millard. Four plays in, Millard was picked off by Rashard Hall. After Clemson scored, Smith went back in.

The Mountaineers’ passing offense (ranked seventh nationally, 341.83 yards per game) had slowed down over its final three games. West Virginia produced an average of 284.3 yards and Smith threw just two TDs over those final three games.

He more than made up for it Wednesday with a historic performance in front of friends and family.

Smith’s mother, Tracey Sellers, said earlier this week she lost count of the number of family members and friends coming to see Smith play. Some are coming from as far as New York, South Carolina and the Bahamas. Miramar coach Damon Cogdell, a West Virginia grad, is bringing the state runner-up team to support the four former Patriots on West Virginia’s roster, including receivers Ivan McCartney and Stedman Bailey (Smith’s roommate).

No supporter among the crowd Wednesday meant more to Smith than his 60-year old grandmother, Mosetta Bratton (aunt of former University of Miami star tailback Melvin Bratton). She was on her deathbed battling kidney failure last year at this time when Smith came home for the holidays. But Bratton since has made a miraculous recovery and was at Sun Life Stadium on Wednesday to see her grandson, who she affectionately refers to as Sonny Boy, play for just the second time since he left for college.
