Humanitarian Bowl (4:30pm)
Idaho(-1) / Bowling Green
Idaho, which defeated Southern Miss in this event back in 1998 as its only previous postseason endeavor, has made a remarkable comeback this season after posting a 1-11 mark in 2007 and just two wins in 12 opportunities last year. This time around, head coach Robb Akey got the squad off on the right foot with a 21-6 victory against New Mexico State in not only the season opener but the Western Athletic Conference opener as well. This is pretty much a home game for the Vandals as they stay in state to play on the “smurf” turf of Boise St. The Vandals had their issues in November mostly because quarterback Nathan Enderle, who was eventually named the team’s MVP, was missing in action because of an injury. Luckily, Idaho doesn’t have to worry about taking the field without its leader again because Enderle is back and ready to go. At the point of attack Bowling Green struggled mightily with a mere 4.2 tackles for loss per game, last in the MAC and 113th nationally. As far as sacks were concerned, James Schneider had the team lead with just 3.5, the squad as a whole averaging barely one-and-a-half sacks per game this season. Take the quote unquote home team in Idaho.
(*** 3 star play on ) Idaho-1
Holiday Bowl (8pm)
Nebraska(-3) / Arizona
Boy oh boy has this line moved. When Vegas put the lines up for these Bowl games Arizona opened as a small 1 point favorite. But now on game day the money has been pouring in on the Cornhuskers and they are now laying a fieldgoal! Both teams have solid defenses but the difference in this game is on offense. The Wildcats have a HUGE advantage on the offensive side of the ball. They are led by sophomore gunslinger Nick Foles. Since Foles took over the starting job at quarterback earlier in the season he has played like a veteran.Completing 66.0 percent of his pass attempts, with 19 touchdowns against just eight picks. It didn’t hurt that Foles was well protected either, as Arizona gave up just nine sacks. I didnt forget about the Corhuskers defense led by Heisman candidate Ndamukong Suh, but like I said Arizona’s “O” line just gave up 9 sacks all season. Take the Wildcats.
(***3 star play on) Arizona+3
