Middle Tenne see is coming Deandre Hopkins T Shirts off a 6-6 regular season without a signature win, but it is playing in its first bowl game since 2018. The Blue Raiders’ six defensive touchdowns lead the nation. Toledo went 7-5, with four of the lo ses coming by three points or fewer and all to bowl-eligible teams, including to then-No. 8 Notre Dame. The Rockets have won four of their last five and three in a row heading into the game. Theyhave committed just six turnovers all season.Northern Illinois vs. Coastal CarolinaNorthern Illinois has one of the best stories in college football this year. The Huskies went from 0-6 last season to 9-4 and a MAC conference title this season. They’re led by alum Thomas Hammock and propelled by one of the nation’s top running games, which averaged 234.2 yards per game and more than 5 yards per carry, good for fifth in the nation. The Chanticleers, who were ranked for much of the season, finished 10-2 after close lo ses to Georgia State and Appalachian State. The Chants are one of the nation’s most prolific offensive teams; they’re sixth in the nation in scoring offense and seventh in total offense.MORE:Saturday, Dec. 18BowlMatchupTime (ET)TV channelBoca Raton BowlWestern Kentucky vs. Appalachian State11 a.m.ESPN, New Mexico BowlUTEP vs. Fresno State2:15 p.m.ESPN, Independence BowlUAB vs. No. 13 BYU3:30 p.m.ABC, Lending Tree BowlEastern Michigan vs. Liberty5:45 p.m.ESPN, LA BowlUtah State vs. Oregon State7:30 p.m.ABC, New Orleans BowlNo. 23 Louisiana vs. Marshall9:15 p.m.ESPN, Western Kentucky vs. Appalachian StateWestern Kentucky probably has the two best players in the country you’ve never heard of. Quarterback QB Bailey Zappe is four touchdowns away from breaking Joe Burrow’s single-season mark; he conveniently averages four Anquan Boldin Jersey pa sing touchdowns per game. Most of his pa ses are to wide receiver Jerreth Sterns, the nation’s second-best pa s catcher. App State is coming off an appearance inthe Sun Belt title game, where it lost to Louisiana for the second time this season. The Mountaineers do have a ranked win; they upset then-No. 14 Coastal Carolina.UTEP vs. Fresno StateUTEP is bowl-eligible for the first time since 2014 thanks to a turnaround orchestrated by coach Dana Dimel. The Miners started 6-1 but finished 1-4. One thing they have going for them is that they’re one of the top teams in the country at defending on third Ross Travis Jersey down, ranking ninth. Fresno State got a major boost when quarterback Jake Haener, one of the top pa sers in the Mountain West, withdrew from the transfer portal and returned to the Bulldogs. It also got Jeff Tedford to return as head coach, giving it a superb offensive mind at the helm. The Bulldogs have the ninth-best pa sing attack in the nation and rank in the top 20 in several other key offensive categories.UAB vs. No. 13 BYUThe Blazers have been bowl-eligible every year since returning to the FBS from a two-year hiatus in 2017. This year, they finished 8-4, the fourth time in five years coach Bill Clark has reached the eight-win milestone. A win Saturday would be their first in a bowl since 2018. BYU had one of the best seasons with seemingly one of the least just outcomes. The Cougars went 10-2 with two separate five-game winning streaks. They beat five Pac-12 teams, including ranked Utah and Arizona State. Kalani Sitake’s squad probably would have had a compelling case for a New Year’s Six bowlhad it been ranked a spot or two higher, which it seemingly should have been.Eastern Michigan vs. LibertyOne of the more surprising teams in the MAC this year, the 7-5 Eagles are going bowling for the third time in four years. Chris Creighton’s squad was the most disciplined in the nation, with the fewest penalties and fewest penalty yards. That could be the key to Eastern Michigan reaching eight wins, something the program last did in 1987. Liberty boasts one of the nation’s top quarterbacks in Mailk Willis, who is, but defense has been the Flames’ calling card this year. They rank 11th in the nation in total defense and in the top 20in sacks. Liberty is a year removed from the best season in program history. It will move from independent to Conference USA in 2023.Utah State vs. Oregon StateAnother team with a great story is Utah State and its coach, Blake Anderson. Anderson built Arkansas State into a Sun Belt power before stepping down following the death of his wife. In his first season in Logan, the Aggies went 10-3 and won the Mountain West title while ranking in the top 20 in total offense and registering the third-most tackles for lo s in the nation. Oregon State enjoyed a renai sance at 7-5, the Beavers’ first winning season since 2013when Mike Riley was the coach. The Beavers went 5-4 in Pac-12 play while having the nation’s 12th-best ground game and ranking sixth in third-down conversion percentage.No. 23 Louisiana vs. MarshallThe Ragin’ Cajuns have been one of, if not the top power in the Sun Belt for the past several years.
