3 for 3!

Get the brooms out, cause it was a clean sweep for me Saturday!

Review: TEMPLE 37 Wyoming 15 √
I didn't get the chance to watch any of the game, but I did see the crazy Wyoming XP on SportsCenter. But for Temple, when you get up 21-0, it's pretty smooth sailing from there on.

Review: OHIO 24 Utah State 23 √
I got to see the 4th quarter of this game, and that's all that really mattered. The Bobcats were down 23-10 with 6 minutes to go in the third quarter, and down by six in the fourth quarter. That is until there were 13 seconds left in the game when a touchdown and the crucial XP put them up by 1. That was their first and only lead of the night, and brought them their first bowl victory. Ohio's final drive was a crazy one and created suspense. It looked to be one of the craziest endings for a bowl game this season, but the craziness for the night was yet to be over.

Review: LOUISIANA-LAFAYETTE 32 San Diego State 30 √
That craziness I was referring to was the ending of this game. I made the mistake of falling asleep before the game was over and missed quite a thriller. The Ragin Cajuns had as large as a 16 point lead in the third quarter, but in the fourth, the Aztecs fought back to take a one point lead with 35 seconds to go. ULL drove down the field to try a 55 yard FG, but before the play a flag was thrown against the defense for trying to draw a false start penalty. Those five yards picked up off that penalty had to be helpful. 50 yard field goal and a win as the clock expired. Classic.

Three wins. Two close games. One happy football fan.

I'm going to do my best to give you a preview of each bowl and the following day a post-game wrap up and analysis of how my picks went. 3 down, 32 to go!
