December 21 Bowl

     Bowl season is off and running! There's a nice calendar of games set up for us to watch this week as we approach Christmas. Here is my pick for today's game!

Miami Beach Bowl

Western Kentucky (11-2) vs. South Florida (8-4)

     This bowl places two high-powered offensive attacks against each other. USF struggled in the early parts of the season starting out 1-3, but turned on the burners in the second half going 7-1 and scoring over 40 points in each of their last 3 games. Sophomore QB Quinton Flowers leads the Bulls' dynamic offense with nearly 900 yards rushing, over 2000 passing, and 31 total touchdowns. Senior QB Brandon Doughty leads the Hilltoppers with nearly 4500 yards passing and 45 passing touchdowns. I think this one will be a high-scoring affair as WKU averages 44.2 points per game. Whichever QB can come out hot will win this one, but I'm going to go with the Senior. Doughty has been stellar his entire career at WKU, especially the last two seasons, and I think he'll end his career with a bowl victory. WKU 49, USF 38.
