boxing day

----------------------------------------------------

Las Vegas - Hoping for a Boxing Day hat trick and starting out with the GameAbove Bowl featuring Pittsburgh vs. Toledo. Both teams come in at 7-5 and but there's a question mark surrounding Pittsburgh's starting QB Eli Holstein. He suffered an ankle injury in the game against Syracuse and Pitt DID NOT win a game the rest of the season after going 7-0. The Panthers will turn to redshirt freshman walk-on David Lynch if Holstein cant go. Not only is QB an issue, the rushing game has totally evaporated. Pitt ran the ball 26 times for TWENTY THREE yards against BC. Check on Holstein. If he is out, we gotta buy some Rocket Fuel.

On to the Rate Bowl with Kansas State vs. Rutgers. This is a big number for a Kansas State team that has lost three of its last four to close the season. Rutgers has won three of its last four and head coach Greg Schiano knows how to get his team ready for a bowl game. Last season, the Scarlet Knights STUNK up the tail end of the season, and limped into the Pinstripe Bowl against Miami-Florida on an 0-4 run. Schiano had a month to get his kids ready, and they beat the Hurricanes 31-24. Gimme some Scarlet.

Close up shop in Mobile, Alabama at the 68 Ventures Bowl where Bowling Green will take on Arkansas State.
After going bowling at the end of last season and losing to Minnesota 30-24, Bowling Green and head coach Scott Loeffler are hunting a W. Bowling QB Connor Bazelak has had a solid senior campaign, hitting on 67% of his passes for 2,654 yards with 15 TDs and 5 INTs. He throws to a SUPERSTAR TE, Harold Fannin, who has caught 100 balls for 1,342 yards and 9 TDs and could go in the 1st round of the NFL draft. Bowling for dollars with Bowling Green.
