Yahoo Forde Yard Dash - Bowl Edition
http://news.yahoo.com/forde-yard-dash--b...ncaaf.html

Relevant -

Quote:CAMELLIA BOWL (3). Ohio (8-4) vs. Appalachian State (10-2).

When: Saturday at 5:30.

Where: Montgomery, Ala.

Unofficial Bowl Motto: MACtion Vs. Fun Belt – Are You Not Entertained?

Motto Subtitle: It’s Alabama And We Like Football – All Football.

Focus Factor: Everyone should be all-in. Extra motivational points for App State, playing its first bowl game as an FBS program.

Line: Appalachian State by eight.

Dash Pick: Appalachian State 35, Ohio 28. Mountaineers can run the ball and the Bobcats have struggled to stop good running teams, giving up 244 rushing yards per game in four losses. The Dash wouldn’t recommend derailing dinner plans to watch, but it’s worth a peek after dessert. Conference records: Sun Belt 1-0, MAC 0-1.

Quote:CURE BOWL (4). San Jose State (5-7) vs. Georgia State (6-6).

When: 7 p.m. Saturday.

Where: Orlando.

Unofficial Bowl Motto: Curing Something, All Right – Insomnia.

Motto Subtitle: Wow This Is A Bad Game.

Focus Factor: First bowl game in Georgia State history should be worth a lot of enthusiasm for the Panthers, who haven’t had this much fun since Ron Hunter was falling off his stool in the NCAA tournament last March. Spartans should be ridiculously happy to be here as well.

Line: San Jose State by three.

Dash Pick: Vacated. Read a book. Don’t watch 5-7.

Quote:NEW ORLEANS BOWL (5). Arkansas State (9-3) vs. Louisiana Tech (8-4).

When: Saturday at 9 p.m.

Louisiana Tech is slightly favored. (AP)
Louisiana Tech is slightly favored. (AP)
Where: New Orleans, believe it or not.

Unofficial Bowl Motto: We Don’t Know What To Do Without Louisiana-Lafayette In The House.

Motto Subtitle: Louisiana Tech Is An Acceptable Substitute.

Focus Factor: Everyone should be good. Arkansas State fans should be energized by the change of scenery after four straight trips to the GoDaddy Bowl. Tech fans should be a major presence in the Superdome given the short commute from Ruston.

Line: Louisiana Tech by 2.

Dash Pick: Arkansas State 38, Louisiana Tech 35. The Bulldogs got loose with the football in the latter stages of the season, committing 11 turnovers in their final three games. The Red Wolves, on the other hand, have 12 takeaways in their past four games. In an otherwise pretty even matchup, go with the team that should win the turnover battle.

Conference records: Sun Belt 2-0*, CUSA 0-1.

(*Camellia Bowl pick vacated.)

Quote:GO DADDY BOWL (10). Georgia Southern (8-4) vs. Bowling Green (10-3).

When: Dec. 23rd at 8 p.m.

Where: Mobile, Ala.

Unofficial Bowl Motto: The Interim Bowl.

Motto Subtitle: Interim Coaches Are People, Too.

Focus Factor: Both teams lost their head coaches, Dino Babers leaving Bowling Green for Syracuse and Willie Fritz departing Georgia Southern for Tulane. Which means there is basically no way of knowing what either team will bring to the table for this one.

Line: Bowling Green by eight.

Dash Pick: Bowling Green 44, Georgia Southern 34. Stylistic opposites – the Falcons chuck it around with quarterback Matt Johnson, and the Eagles befuddle defenses with the ground-bound option attack. Bowling Green will benefit from having several weeks to prepare for that offense, and it has more aerial firepower than Georgia Southern is accustomed to seeing.

Conference records: MAC 1-4, Sun Belt 2-1*.
