Thursday, December 24 – Hawaii Bowl -- Nevada -15 vs. SMU
The Hawaii Bowl signifies a much bigger moment for SMU head coach June Jones than simply a homecoming to his former school. Instead, he has turned around a program plagued with failure and NCAA sanctions in less than two years. Now, Jones is looking for SMU’s first post season win in nearly 25 years.
Standing in the Mustangs’ way is Nevada, who is favored by more than two touchdowns. The Wolf Pack are a dangerous team on the ground, featuring three 1,000 yard rushers, the most on one team in NCAA history. Look for Nevada to control the line of scrimmage all game, and win this by 17 or so. Take Nevada and the points.
