Preview by GoldenEagles98

Key Players:

Middle Tennessee State:

Dwight Dasher (QB) 32 Total TD's (21 Passing, 11 Rushing)

D.D. Kyles (RB) 822 yards rushing (6.5 ypc, 3 TD's)

Chris McCoy (DE) Sun Belt Defensive POY (7 sacks, 20 tfl)

Southern Miss:

Martevious Young (QB) 1590 Yds Passing (13 TD's, 1 Int)

DeAndre Brown (WR) 720 Yds Receiving (7 TD's, 16.7 ypc)

Korey Williams (LB) 112 Tackles (9 tfl) 6.5 sacks, 2 Fum Rec.

In Sunday's New Orleans Bowl, an impressive, yet relatively unknown dual threat quarterback will take the field in Dwight Dasher of the MTSU. He is essentially the offense in the Blue Raiders attack, accounting for over 3500 yards and 32 touchdowns. Not many quarterbacks in the country can match Dasher's productivity. He is also the leading rusher on the team, and the amount of success that he has will no doubt play a huge factor in determining the outcome of this game. Although the Southern Miss ranks in the top third of the nation in rushing defense, their passing defense has really struggled at times and they have had a tough time containing other dual threat quarterbacks. Both Joe Webb and Jameel Sewell found success scrambling against the Golden Eagles earlier in the season. The Blue Raider defense, led by Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Year Chris McCoy, ranks fourth in the country in sacks with over three per game. McCoy and company will look to continue getting pressure on the quarterback to offset an otherwise average defense and a special teams unit that ranks in the bottom third of the country in nearly every statistical category.

On the other side of the field, the Southern Miss offense boasts good weapons at the three skill postions. Quarterback Martevious Young has been solid in replacing the injured Austin Davis with only one interception to go with 13 touchdowns, and wide receiver DeAndre Brown seems fully recoverd from the broken leg he suffered in last year's New Orleans Bowl as he has finished the year strong. At running back the one-two punch of Damion Fletcher and Tory Harrison have combined for over 1500 yards and 17 touchdowns. On defense, despite the fact that Southern Miss has given up some big plays this season they have gotten to the quarterback frequently averaging nearly three sacks per contest. Special teams have been both a black mark and a bright spot for the Golden Eagles. Southern Miss has missed at least on extra point in six consecutive games and the kicking game as a whole has struggled with the snapper, the holder, and the kicker. However the Golden Eagles have offset some of those woes with Tracey Lampley. The true freshman has returned both a kickoff and a punt for a touchdown this season and he ranks eighth in the country in yards per punt return at pver 11 per attempt.

The key factor in this game will be whether the Blue Raider defense can get any pressure Martevious Young as the Golden Eagles haven't allowed many sacks this season. Both teams should have success moving the ball, and the Golden Eagles ability to run the ball with Fletcher and Harrison should eventually wear down the Blue Raider defense. Dasher will do some damage, but in the end Southern Miss should prevail as the Golden Eagles just have more weapons, both on offense and special teams.

By GoldenEagles98

Key Players:

Nevada

Colin Kaepernick (QB) 1875 yds passing (19 TD, 5 Int) 1160 yds rushing (16 TD)

Luke Lippincott (RB) 1034 yds rushing (7.7 ypc), 9 TD, 2 rec. TD

Vai Taua (RB) 1345 yds rushing (7.8 ypc), 10 TD, 2 rec. TD

Southern Methodist

Shawnbrey McNeal (RB) 1125 yds rushing (5.0 ypc), 9 TD

Emmanuel Sanders (WR) 91 rec. 1215 yds, 6 TD. 15.4 yds per punt return (1 TD)

Chase Kennemer (LB) 126 tackles (11 tfl), 1 sack, 2 Int, 4 fumble rec.

The Hawaii Bowl pits one of the most potent offensive attacks in the country in the Nevada Wolfpack against an up and coming SMU squad, led by offensive guru June Jones. The Wolfpack boast the country's leading rushing offense, gaining over 360 yards per contest on the ground. The attack is led by QB Colin Kaepernick, who is one of the nations leaders in total offense and total touchdowns. Going up against the one of the weaker run defenses in the country, Kaepernick, Vai Taua, and Luke Lippincott should find plenty of running room. If the Mustangs have any success slowing down the Wolfpack rushing attack, tight end Virgil Green and wideout Brandon Wimberly are talented enough to stretch the defense and get into the end zone.

For the SMU Mustangs, big play wideout/punt returner Emmanuel Sanders is one of the most dangerous threats in the country, catching almost 8 passes per contest and scoring 10 touchdowns. However, if the Mustangs look to pull off the upset, Shawnbrey McNeal and the SMU offensive line must control the line of scrimmage and eat up clock against the Wolfpack defense, which only gives up 114 yards per game on the ground. If the Mustangs can hold the football for long stretches then they have a chance to be successful by keeping the rushing attack of the Wolfpack on the sidelines.

SMU has been in many close games this year, and that experience could help if this game goes down to the wire. Don't look for that to be the case though. While the Mustangs should be able to find some success moving the ball, Nevada's offense is too talented and too powerful for the SMU defense to slow them down. While SMU's turnaround is one of the great stories of the college football season, the task at hand is simply too daunting despite the homecoming for June Jones back to the islands.

Preview by: CoachDuncan

The 2009 Armed Forces Bowl pits two teams who are very familiar with each other. The 7-5 Air Force Falcons against the #25, in the Coaches Poll, Houston Cougars. These two teams played each other twice last year with Air Force winning in the regular season 31-28 and Houston winning here at the Armed Forces Bowl 34-28. The game will match two great strengths against each other as we'll have a chance to see the NCAA's #1 ranked pass offense versus the Air Force Academy's #1 ranked pass defense. Something has to give in this game and we're all in for a real treat as we sit back and watch to see who comes out on top.

For the Air Force Falcons, they are led by 2008 MWC Freshman Player of the Year Tim Jefferson at QB. He is a dual passing and rushing threat as he has 687 passing yards with 5 TD's and 2 INT's and 387 rushing yards with 3 TD's. He has had some injury troubles this year, most recently some bruised ribs in the final regular season game against BYU. But he is healthy now and ready to go. This is a much better team when he is taking the snaps and he'll need a huge day with this triple option offense to have a chance at the win. If he can keep the ball in the Falcon's hands and help keep the Houston offense on the bench, they could sneak out a win.

Jefferson is joined in the backfield by FB Jared Tew and QB Asher Clark. Tew earned his first start in this game last year and promptly rushed for 149 yards, both an Air Force and Armed Forces Bowl record. He has 797 yards and 7 TD's this season and he leads the rushing attack for the team. Clark is the teams 2nd best rusher with 736 yards and 5 TD's. He is not a passing threat as evidenced by the lack of a single passing attempt this season. This team doesn't throw the ball much, but they seem to be effective when they have to be.

The defense is led by the CB tandem of Anthony Wright Jr. and Reggie Rembert; the best CB combo this teams has seen in many years. They will need a huge day against these talented Cougar WR's if they are going to keep this offense in check and keep them out of the end zone.

For the Houston Cougars, they are led by 2010 Heisman hopeful and 2009 CUSA MVP and Sammy Baugh winner Case Keenum. He was also a 2nd team All-American this season. Putting up some amazing numbers as he has completed 71% of his passing en route to 5449 passing yards with a staggering 49 TD's and 9 INT's. Those are numbers that any QB would be ecstatic to put up let alone someone with an eye to a successful NFL career after college. He is a dandy and he could very well shine in this game.

Two of his favorite targets, James Cleveland and Tyron Carrier, lead the receivers into this game with some staggering numbers of their own. Cleveland racked up 101 catches, 1182 yards, and 14 TD's. He is in the top 10 nationally in catches and receiving yards per game with these numbers. Carrier is not too far behind with 86 catches, 998 yards, and 7 TD's. Most teams would love to have a 1000 receiver, these guys should be blessed with 2 not too far into this game. They are a talented pair that are obviously able to find the ball with ease.

RB's Bryce Beall and Charles Sims have some solid rushing stats between them with 669 yards and 7 TD's for Beall and 632 yards and 9 TD's for Sims. Not gaudy numbers, but with a QB like Keenum, spreading the ball around to include the rushing game is pretty tough.

The Cougar defense is led by LB Marcus McGraw as he currently ranks #14 in the nation with 123 tackles. Expect him to have a big game attempting to shut down this option attack.

Even though Houston is only 8-10-1 lifetime in bowls, expect them to win this game. Air Force can lay claim to being the team who came the closest to beating TCU this season by losing 20-17, but expect this high octane offense from Houston to simply wear down and run away from this young and talented Air Force team.
