MEINEKE CAR CARE BOWL
South Florida's Keys to the Game In order to win this game, South Florida must pressure NC State quarterback Marcus Stone. Stone, who relieved former starter Jay Davis mid-season, has been shaky at times this year, and if pressured heavily, he could make some rookie mistakes. USF must also get the ball in the hands of their playmakers. WR Amarri Jackson and RB Andre Hall are both magnificent athletes who, if given the opportunity, can make big plays on every down. NC State's Keys to the Game If Wolfpack defensive end Mario Williams can get pressure on the USF offense, then NC State will have a great chance. State has some good talent in the secondary, but they have allowed spurts of offensive yards at times this year. If Williams can get some pressure on the backfield, then errant throws play into the secondary's hands.
HOUSTON BOWL
TCU's Keys to the Game After beating Oklahoma early in the season, TCU erased any thought of a giant talent difference between them and the big boys. TCU quarterback Jeff Ballard, replacing former starter Tye Gunn, has been spectacular with a 60% completion percentage. If Ballard can beat the Cyclones' blitzes, then the Frogs will light up the scoreboard. Iowa State's Keys to the Game Iowa State needs running back Stevie Hicks to have a good game. The offense has stagnated during his absence this year, and if Iowa State has any chance to beat the Horned Frogs, they must get him at least 30 carries. They Cyclone defense is going to try to bring the heat against Ballard, but they must be sure that they do not leave their secondary vulnerable or else Ballard could have a career day.
LIBERTY BOWL
Tulsa's Keys to the Game QB Paul Smith must have a good game and get Tulsa to a big early lead. The Hurricane defense must also play the run tough for the first half or so. If Fresno State resorts to the pass to try and win they game, they will play right into the hands of Tulsa. Fresno State's Keys to the Game Basically all Fresno State needs to do in this game is run the ball. If they pound it at the small front of the Golden Hurricanes, eventually RBs Wendell Mathis and Bryson Sumlin will break them down and get Fresno State the victory. This is also the end of the career of Fresno State quarterback Paul Pinnegar. Watch for a good game from him as he tries to impress the pro scouts one final time.
