Frisco Bowl

Game No. 7 on the slate, from gloomy Frisco, Texas.


DXL Frisco Bowl - Ohio University vs. San Diego State University

Who called this game?


Kevin Brown and Heisman Trophy Winner Andre Ware.  Ware became the No. 1 pick of the Detroit Lions, chosen by head coach Wayne Fontes, who went against the advice of the team's scouting director who quit the next day.  Ware went on to play a total of 14 games for the Lions, which is just about how you would expect that entire situation to play out.

I watched most of this game.  It got ugly pretty fast.  The Aztecs looked like they had little interest in playing in the cold Frisco, Texas rain.

Ohio U quarterback Nathan Rourke threw for a couple touchdowns and running back A.J. Ouellette ran for 164 yards against the alleged fourth best rush defense in the country.  Those offensive and defensive rankings are dumb.

It was the first time San Diego State was shut out in a bowl game since its first postseason appearance in the 1948 Harbor Bowl where they lost 53-0.  That was a strong Hardin-Simmons unit. Their kicker was evidently a giant.


Ohio U. 27  San Diego State 0

What Did I Eat:  Some tortilla chips and queso.

Bowl Swag:  Gift suite, Justin cowboy hat, beanie cap, coin, pin, Big Game football.  That cowboy hat is being given to an older male relative this Christmas.

Game rating:  2-stars, I watch a lot of MAC football and like the Bobcats.  I also work with a number of people who went to OU so they're happy about this.

My pick:  Ohio University, I'm now 6-1.
