BOWLS(7-8 -1.2) Ok, not happy so far with that record, Time to kick some Bowl ass!
Dana
Bible took over for Tom OBrien late December for the Wolfpack,Bible,
N.C. State’s interim coach since Nov. 25, Groomed, 2
QB's currently in the NFL – Atlanta’s Matt Ryan and Seattle’s Russell
Wilson –
and one on his way – Wolfpack senior Mike Glennon...Tom O'brien called
Bible on Sunday to remind him of their bowl record together, 8-2
at BC and N.C. State – the best winning percentage for a
head coach in bowl history....NCST is in capable hands,But in all his
years and all his stops, Bible has never worked a single game as a head
coach. Until Monday.(Miami (twice) UC (again), at San Diego
State, with the Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles, at
Stanford,BC,North Carolina State twice)....This will be Bibles last game
with NCST...“When we started this, we made a promise to them as a
coaching staff
that we were going to work our tails off and give them the very best
chance to succeed in this game,” Bible said. “And in return, what we
wanted from them was the same kind of commitment...Instead of the quiet confidence of O’Brien, with his arms folded
across his chest and an icy glare in his eyes, Bible has brought
something of a youthful exuberance to the Wolfpack’s bowl preparations.
Even though he’s pushing 50 and is a cancer survivor, Bible gave off
the vibe of an excited teenager as he nervously sat next to Vanderbilt
coach James Franklin at Saturday’s pregame press conference at LP Field.The Remaining coaches continued dedication hasn’t been lost on those players, many of
whom have openly stated their desire to win this last game for O’Brien,
Bible and the other coaches that have helped develop them..
Ok I'm very satisfied NCST is going to bring their A game and effort....They have a future NFL qb( QB Mike Glennon, 3,648 passing yards with 30 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.)and is catching 7...They also have showed this year when they bring "It" they can dominate,This team was good enough to pull off an upset of then-No. 2 and unbeaten Florida State at Carter-Finley Stadium Nov. 6...NCST+7(3 UNITS)-105
Sun Bowl..wow talk about a pissed off Bowl team,S Cal is Miserable in El Paso! The Trojans have set a record for most apologies in a single bowl season...linebacker Tony Burnett posted negative comments on Twitter about USC being selected to play in the Dec. 31 Sun Bowl. Burnett quickly apologized, as did Coach Lane Kiffin in his introductory El Paso press conference....Then Wednesday night, freshman defensive lineman Leonard Williams tweeted his opinion of El Paso and used an expletive to describe the city. Williams quickly deleted the tweet and apologized profusely...The El Paso Times splashed an all-caps ``TROJAN TROUBLE'' headline on its front page Friday, with a 1,144-word story about the team's perceived gaffes. The story was accompanied by a photo of Georgia Tech players visiting patients at a children's hospital....wonder how many Locals spit in their meals they was preparing for them in area restaurants? The Trojans suffered another PR setback Wednesday when they were 30 minutes late to a traditional bowl-week dinner, It is apparent that Nobody for USC wants to be here... USC will be playing its third bowl game in El Paso. The Trojans lost to TCU in the Sun Bowl in 1998 and lost to Michigan State in 1990 when the game was known as the John Hancock Bowl.
well I can safely say S Cal with a big social Media FU to the City has little interest in this game,With the problems USC has with running teams and G T and their famed cut blocking I can't see anyway that S Cal is motivated to get hurt stopping this running game with the cut blocks....HC Kiffin fired DC Kiffin, his dad (And highly respected NFL DC)That is something to chew on....Not to say S Cal won't out score them however...BUT, the winds will be howling out of the west at 20-25 mph, wreaking havoc on passing games.cloudy with rain showers. High of 50F. Windy. Winds from the West at 20 to 25 mph with gusts to 40 mph. Chance of rain 20%...I recall This game a few years back with that Texas wind...It ended Oregon State 3 Pittsburgh 0
There is no current line but I'm figuring S Cal-7...hmmm..With Daddy Kiffin his last game as DC and the wind......

There is a 60 percent chance of rain. Wally Burnham is ISU Defensive coordinator,Burnham has plenty of big-time college coaching experience, including nine years at Florida State with Bobby Bowden and five years at South Carolina as an assistant head coach and defensive coordinator...This guy was S floridas defensive coordinator when they was tough as Nails...Back in that day,USF had been ranked in the top 30 in total defense in the Bowl Subdivision (Division I-A) in six of the seven seasons -- including a No. 10 ranking in 2008 -- with Burnham in charge....He is a guy with a Month can stop a team...Under coach Paul Rhoads, the Cyclones are 21-1 when holding teams to fewer than 24 points and 3-25 in games in which they allow 24 or more. True to form, Tulsa only scored 23 in the the first meeting between these teams....This Iowa state defense held Baylor to 21 points...35-21... Not a sexy/popular pick but I gotta go with this Iowa State Defensive coordinator,This guy knows his shit and has had a month to get this defense ready..
