You can tell that MAC teams are used to that weeknight action; the MAC as a conference won not one, but both bowl games yesterday.
The Akron Zips (8-5, 5-3 MAC) won a bowl game for the first time in program history, but not before having to take a couple deep breaths in the late going on the way to a 23-21 win over Utah State in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. In Florida, the Toledo Rockets (10-3, 6-2 MAC) exorcised some demons against Temple, pounding the Owls with an explosive offense in the poring rain, winning 32-17.
