College Football Bowl season continues today with three more bowl games, including an early morning showdown between two top 20 offenses that is as sure to start up your holiday weekend as a good morning jolt of coffee.
Birmingham Bowl
The showdown of which I speak is in the 9 a.m. Birmingham Bowl, between the Texas Tech Red Raiders and the South Florida Bulls. The Red Raiders (6-6) are #17 in total offense this season, including the 11th best passing offense in the nation led by senior quarterback Nik Shimonek. Shimonek did not start in Tech’s last game against Texas, but came off the bench to beat the Longhorns in a comeback victory.
