Bowl Game Blowout! Open Thread for Non-BCS Games on 1/1/10

 

Outback Bowl

Outback BowlOutback BowlOutback Bowl Game Program
1/1/10 at 11:00 AM EST
Tampa, Florida

 

Initial Thoughts: Two nondescript teams going at it at 11 AM does a little damage to the notion that player on a New Year's Day bowl is always a big deal.  It also highlights how awful the Pac-10 bowl tie-ins are.
Most Awesome Player: Mike Kafka, Northwestern QB (272/414 for 2,898 yards, 12 touchdowns, 7 interceptions; 130 rushes for 265 yards and 7 touchdowns)
Most Awesome SponsorTrane.  Because it's hard to stop a Trane!

Trane

The Line: Auburn -7.5
Accuscore says: Auburn 31.5, Northwestern 21.5
ESPN says: Auburn 41, Northwestern 17
Who you should be rooting for: Not the SEC! Go Wildcats!

 

 

Capital One Bowl

Penn State Nittany Lions (10-2) vs. LSU Tigers (9-3)
1/1/10 at 1:00 PM EST
Orlando, Florida

 

Initial Thoughts: I can't escape the feeling that both teams are just horribly overrated, despite their records.
Most Awesome Player: It would be Darryl Clark if he's playing against a bad defense, but since LSU has a good defense, I'm going with Brandon LaFell (52 receptions for 705 yards and 10 touchdowns).
Most Awesome SponsorCapital One.  Because if I'm not mistaken, they're the only sponsor.

Capital One® logo

The Line: Penn State -2.5
Accuscore says: Penn State 24.9, LSU 20.4
ESPN says: Penn State 21, LSU 14
Who you should be rooting for: Not the SEC.

 

 

Konica Minolta Gator Bowl

Gator Bowl
West Virginia Mountaineers (9-3) vs. Florida State Seminoles (6-6)
1/1/10 at 1:00 PM
Jacksonville, Florida

 

Initial Thoughts: Noel Devine returns to his home state and wreaks havoc upon the...wait, what do you mean that isn't the big storyline here?
Most Awesome Player: Devine, West Virginia RB (225 rushes for 1,297 yards and 12 touchdowns)
Most Awesome Sponsor: Not to be homophobic, but they really could redesign the logo here.

W.W. Gay

The Line: West Virginia -2.5
Accuscore says: West Virginia 33.5, Florida State 29.0
ESPN says: West Virginia 34, Florida State 26
Who you should be rooting for: As much as it would be heartwarming to see Bobby Bowden go out on a high note, I'm a Big East guy.  Go Mountaineers.

locker envy on my mind

ever since that uw game, i’ve sort of had locker envy. man, is that guy ever fast. now it’s even worse with him hanging around another year to take his school to the next level. i feel like there have been a couple times in the tedford era where cal could’ve made it to the rose bowl if rodgers, lynch, or jackson had stayed for their senior year. probably selfish, but i’m totally hoping jahvid stays.

by need4jahvid on Jan 1, 2010 10:02 AM PST reply actions  

I don’t think Jahvid will be critical to our success. He would be more than welcome to stay, but our running game should be fine. It’s all the other problemas we have that need help for next year

by YleeXOtee on Jan 1, 2010 10:05 AM PST up reply actions  

I’m somewhere in between you two. I think it’d swing a lot of things our way if he stayed, but I recognize the OL’s improvement is more critical.

by rollonubears on Jan 1, 2010 11:54 AM PST reply actions  

-Northwestern has a long drive with 3 4th down conversions but gets a TD…and misses the PAT

-Auburn recovers the onside kick and gets a first down on the first play. They can pretty much run out the clock…but a RB fumbles.

-Northwestern drives, but has 4th and 4 from the 25. An Auburn defender comes clean on a blitz and chases Kafka backwards about 15 yards and sacks him, but commits a facemask giving NW a 1st down which leads to a TD and 2 point conversion on a double reverse halfback pass.

-Auburn has a long kickoff return but fumbles at the end of the return. NW drives but barely misses a 44 yard FG to send the game to OT.
