Famous Idaho Potato Bowl scenarios:

Ohio: Quarterback Nathan Rourke will play the final game in his impressive college career. The senior compiled 20 touchdowns with only five interceptions and a career high in passing yards with 2,676. On top of that Rourke rushed for 780 yards and 12 touchdowns making him an exciting player to watch. He will go down as one of the best players to ever suit up for the Bobcats with a pass efficiency of 146.9 and the all time leader in touchdowns with 108. The senior will also finish his career with the most points scored in Bobcat history. Look for Rourke to put on a show.

Nevada: They have a pretty solid running game with Toa Taua and Devonte Lee combining for 1200 yards and 12 touchdowns this season averaging around 4.3 yards per carry. In order to keep the game close, look for Nevada to run the ball frequently and run the clock. Another player to watch is NFL prospect and offensive tackle, Jake Nelson.  The 6’4 300 pound senior is slated to go in the later rounds of April’s NFL Draft.

However, their defense is lackluster and is ranked 70th in the country giving up 397 yards per game, according to NCAA Team Stats. If they do come away with the win it will be a major upset.

Betting Odds, according to CBS Sports:

• Ohio vs. Nevada spread: Ohio -8
• Ohio vs. Nevada over-under: 59.5 points
• Ohio vs. Nevada money line: Ohio -308, Nevada +244
• OHIO: 3-2 against the spread in last five games
• NEV: Finished the season on a 3-1 run against the spread

Armed Forces Bowl scenarios:

Tulane: They have lost six straight games to Southern Miss and are looking to get a win against their formal rivals for the first time since 2010. Under coach Willie Fritz the Green Wave will appear in bowl games in back-to-back seasons for the second time in team history. They hope to get back on track after losing five of their last six games in the regular season. They’re 11th in the nation in rushing yards per game with 249.8, so look for Tulane to dominate in that category.

Quez Watkins is a wide receiver to keep your eyes on. The 6’2 190 pound junior was the team’s top receiver with 55 catches for 1,024 yards and five touchdowns. He is projected be find a suitor on Day 3 of the NFL Draft, according to league sources.

Southern Mississippi: Coach Jay Hopson has recorded four consecutive winning seasons since arriving in 2016. The Mississippi native attempts to win his second bowl game for the university and bring the school’s bowl game record to 12-12.

Defensive end Patrick Johnson will look to make things tough for the Green Wave offense. He had an exceptional sophomore year last season with ten sacks and 14 tackles, and the 6’3 250 pound junior looks to improve his chances of getting drafted.

Betting Odds, according to CBS Sports:

• Tulane vs. Southern Miss spread: Green Wave -7
• Tulane vs. Southern Miss over-under: 56.5 points
• Tulane vs. Southern Miss money line: Green Wave -266, Golden Eagles +217
• TUL: RB Corey Dauphine is averaging 8.1 yards per carry
• USM: WR Tim Jones leads the team with 66 receptions

Utah State isn’t really known for their basketball team. However, the team pulled off an 81-76 upset over No. 12 Nevada. The fans erupted and quickly stormed the court. Nevada couldn’t handle this. The No. 12 team, who’s sure to take a beating in the polls this week, went into a meltdown.

Wolf Pack basketball Player Has Meltdown After Loss

A video captured by KUTV reporter Jake Edmonds shows Wolf Pack senior Jordan Caroline punching out the glass covering a fire extinguisher. After doing this, Caroline yelled out, “F—k that! Run my s—t, b—! I’m right here n—a!” Most reports presumed that someone from Utah was at the end of the tunnel. Teammates and staff then went and moved Caroline down the hall to prevent further conflict.

After the cameras got a look at the fire extinguisher, they found Nevada coaches in an argument with police. They complained about fans rushing the court, making contact with the players and hurling profanities at them. Police continued to usher the crowd down the hall. One of the staff members then exclaimed, “That’s unacceptable on your guys’ part. That’s your assistant coach!” Then a Nevada staffer turns to cops and shouts, “They’re touching our fucking players, and you’re not going to do shit about it? You watched it happen! You watched it happen!”

Because students stormed the court, Nevada had to be taken to the same hallway as Utah State. Soon after, head coach Eric Musselman went on a profanity-laced rant before being restrained by police. No one from Nevada spoke to media after the game.

Nevada alleged that an assistant coach from Utah State used profanity towards Nevada after the game. Utah State Athletic Director John Hartwell said the school is gathering information and going over surveillance videos.

The Arizona Bowl was mocked for featuring two mediocre teams from the same conference. But when they got on the field, the game turned into a back-and-forth affair that was decided in the final minute, when a James Butler run gave Nevada a 28-23 win.

“There was a lot of snarkiness that we ended up with two conference opponents playing each other. Obviously, that’s not ideal,” Nevada coach Brian Polian said. “But look, I thought it was a really fun football game. There were plays made on both sides.”

After trailing much of the game, Colorado State took the lead on a Waytt Bryan field goal near the four minute mark. All the Rams’ defense had to do was stop Nevada one final time, but that turned out to be more difficult than they envisioned.

Nevada was able to march down the field with little resistance, allowing Butler to barrel across the goal line for the go-ahead touchdown. Colorado State tried to mount a response in the final minute, but ran out of time when Jordan Vaden failed to get out of bounds and stop the clock. The Rams drive ended just 12 yards from the end zone.

“Guys are in the moment and that will be a learning experience,” Colorado State coach Mike Bobo said. “We had plays where we could go for the jugular and we weren’t able to do that, and put ourselves in that situation.”

In addition to the game-winning touchdown, Butler rushed for 189 yards and one additional score.
