Bowl Game Reviews for Saturday, Dec 29th

Meinke Car Care Bowl-

Prediction:
UConn, 23 Wake Forest, 17
Actual Score:
UConn, 10 Wake Forest, 24

Huskies offense never got going averaging only only 3.6 yards per play and totaling 213 yards while the Demon Deacons almost doubled them up with 412 yards of offense. UConn's lone touchdown was in the first quarter on a Larry Taylor punt return. Josh Adams looks a a great back for Wake going forward.


Liberty Bowl-

Prediction:
Central Florida, 20 Miss State, 24
Actual Score:
Central Florida, 3 Miss State, 10

It was one of those games that had 3 or 4 plays on defense or special teams for each side that could've changed the pace of the game. Only, poor quarterback play kept any momentum from ever being built. The Bulldogs had karma on their side with Sly Croom coaching on the 25th anniversary of his mentor's Bear Bryant's last game as a coach, the 1975 Liberty Bow.


Alamo Bowl-

Prediction:
Texas A&M, 20 Penn State, 31
Actual Score:
Texas A&M, 17 Penn State, 24

Evan Royster of all players sealed this game with a long td run late for Joe Pa. I think this was Rodney Kinlaw's coming out party. He looked great at times with some of the best footwork out of any back I've seen so far this season. He might have propelled himself into a first day pick with that performance.


For Bowl Season-
Straight Up: 10-4
Against the Spread: 5-8-1
Over/Under: 8-6
