| Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl 2011 |
This game surprised me and I was yet again proved wrong by a team that I had picked against. That’s one thing about this bowl season. These games are so hard to predict due to how evenly matched a lot of these teams are. I’m 2-2 on my picks now and am hoping to improve that tonight.
If you live by the big play you can also die by big play. Florida International didn’t make the big play in this game and the offense couldn’t get much of anything going and the Florida International Golden Panther defense became very tired and was unable to make the necessary stops to defeat the Marshall Thundering Herd.
This game was tied at ten going into the half but Marshall blanked the Golden Panthers in the second half and the blocked punt was one the worst things that happened for Florida International. They just made too many mistakes and couldn’t win the game.
San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl:
How They Got Here:
TCU: The TCU Horned Frogs lost the opening college game on ESPN against Robert Griffin III and Baylor. TCU had a very easy schedule and were able to win all of their games in the Mountain West conference including an upset of Boise State, though they did suffer an embarrassing loss to SMU by seven in overtime.
Louisiana Tech: The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs were able to go 8-4 and 6-1 in the WAC conference. They give up twenty-two points per game which isn’t bad but the TCU offense puts up forty-two points per game so this will be entertaining.
My Prediction:
I am going to have to go with TCU who in my opinion deserved that last BCS bowl bid, though I wanted to see Baylor play in it. TCU will put up more points than this Louisiana Tech team can handle. The Horned Frogs win.
