San Diego County Poinsettia Bowl:
I was very concerned that Louisiana Tech was going to ruin the bowl game I had felt the safest about picking. Louisiana Tech nearly surprised the Horned Frogs of TCU but TCU got a much needed turn over and blanked the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs in the fourth quarter to win the game. It was over after TCU scored the second touchdown in the fourth to take a 31-24 lead. I’m now 3-2 on picks.
MAACO Bowl Las Vegas:
How They Got Here:
Boise State: Boise State relied on quarterback Kellen Moore all season and has had an extremely weak schedule other than the game against Georgia and they are a very good offensive team. They went 11-1 this season and couldn’t get the last BCS bowl bid this season.
Arizona State: Arizona State fought injuries and despite a very weak season in the PAC-12 they were able to get into a bowl game at 6-6.
Prediction: Boise State always seems to play well in bowl games and always puts in a trick play or two. They beat Oklahoma with some excited plays in the Fiesta Bowl including a Statue of Liberty call and a Hook –and-Latter play that got them to an upset win. Then they beat TCU in a bowl game with the key play being a fake punt. Look for a trick play if needed, or even a big special teams play like a kickoff return for a touchdown. Boise State wins this game, but Arizona State will make it interesting.
