Kentucky-Clemson

Lexington Herald-Leader

It’s the first post-season appearance under Coach Rich
Brooks, and UK’s
first bowl trip since the Hal Mumme-coached Cats lost
to Syracuse 20-13 in the 1999 Music
City Bowl. But it’s not just making a bowl that makes the Cats a winner. In
this case it’s the bowl, its opponent, its location and the way it could
alter the Cats’ football history. Clemson is from the ACC, a BCS league. And the Tigers competed mightily for an ACC
division crown, derailed by a one-point loss to Maryland.
They ended up 8-4, thanks to a three-point loss to arch-rival South
Carolina
in the season finale. The
Tigers (8-4) rank 15th in the nation in scoring defense.

Senior defensive end Gaines Adams (15.5 tackles for loss, 10.5 sacks) was named
ACC Defensive Player of the Year and is a finalist for the Ted Hendricks Award
given to the nation’s top end. Clemson also features one of the nation’s best
running attacks led by sophomore James Davis (1,134 yards, 17 TD’s) and freshman sensation C.J.
Spiller (914 yards, 10 TD’s, 7.1 yards per carry).
The Tigers are fifth in the NCAA in rushing yards per game (225.2) and ninth in
scoring average (33.8).

Tennessean

A bit of shuffling will take place in the Clemson
secondary as the Tigers try to replace starting cornerback Duane Coleman, who
last week was suspended for the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl presented by
Bridgestone. Coleman, a senior who had started 15 consecutive games, was
charged with simple possession of marijuana last Wednesday during a traffic
stop for failing to use a turn signal. Clemson defensive coordinator Vic Koenning said Tuesday that Chris Chancellor, a redshirt
freshman who started three games at the cornerback position opposite of
Coleman, would start at the “field cornerback position.” At the other
cornerback Koenning said several players would be
used, including junior C.J. Gaddis, who played in
every game in the regular season but hasn’t been in the starting lineup since
the 2005 season.

Minnesota-Texas Tech

Press Notes

Matt Spaeth, a two-time first
team All-Big Ten selection who has become a promising pro prospect, recently
had surgery to repair a severely separated shoulder and will not recover in
time to play for Minnesota in the
Insight Bowl against Texas Tech. After getting hurt in the Oct. 21 game against
North Dakota State, Spaeth could have chosen surgery
immediately to hasten the rehabilitation and avoid the risk of further injury
with the potential of a big payday looming. But that wasn’t the way he wanted
to finish. Spaeth, one of three finalists for the
John Mackey Award that’s given to the nation’s top tight end, came back in two
weeks and contributed in the last three games. All Gophers wins. All needed to
qualify for postseason play. Spaeth will certainly be
missed, but it’s on defense where Minnesota
(6-6) could use the most help against air-it-out Texas Tech. The Red Raiders
(7-5) are led by quarterback Graham Harrell, who completed 66.9 percent of his
passes for 4,110 yards, 36 touchdowns and only 10 interceptions.

Missouri-Oregon State

Seattle Times

More than 20 Missouri
players bothered by colds or flu were held out of practice, three days before
the Tigers’ Sun Bowl game against Oregon
State
. No starters appeared to be
affected. “It was unhealthy,” coach Gary Pinkel said. “We had coaches out, we had players out. I’ve
never been through anything like this before.”

Cy McCormick MasterLockLine.com

The only game Friday in which weather could play a factor
is the Sun Bowl. Winds of 13 mph are expected and there is a slight chance of
rain.

CBB

Illinois-Xavier

Herald-Review

The Illini basketball team
reassembled on Tuesday and talking with coach Bruce
Weber Wednesday, the news on the injury front is mostly good. Let’s go
player-by-player:

Warren Carter. You may recall he injured his hip against Missouri
and did not play the last two minutes of that game and sat out the Idaho
State
game. Carter was listed as
“iffy” for the upcoming Xavier game on Friday and Weber said before Christmas
break that Carter would need to do a good job following a therapy program the
trainers prescribed for him during the break.Carter
was able to play for most of the practice session on Tuesday and even though he
reported some pain on Wednesday, Weber said he expected Carter to play 25
minutes or so vs. Xavier. That’s very good news. Carter is Illinois
leading scorer and over his last seven games he is averaging 16.7 points and
7.4 rebounds while shooting 55.6 percent. Included in that stretch are three
20-plus point performances. Brian Randle was able to practice full-go on
Tuesday. And even though he continues to experience some stiffness and
soreness, there is no indication it should limit his play vs. Xavier. Jamar Smith conintues to gain
strength and Weber sounds very encouraged about his progress from the high
ankle sprain. I think Weber is expecting him to recapture some of the
explosiveness he lost due to the injury. Smith is shooting 46.3 percent from
3-point range and is the highest-scoring non-starter in the Big Ten.

Point guard Chester Frazier is practicing although he
still has pain and raw, tender feet. Blisters and callouses
on the bottom of his feet are the latest problem and new orthodics
are being used to help relieve the pressure. He also needs to re-grow some skin
but has shown the toughness to play through what must be considerable pain.
Frazier, by the way, is averaging 6.1 assists per game, which is second in the
Big Ten and 11th nationally. He also leads the team and is third in
the Big Ten in steals. The only other injury of note is freshman Richard Semrau and he’s done for the season.

Wake Forest-South Florida

Tampa Bay Online

Since USF’s 7-1 start against
mostly weak competition, the Bulls (7-5) have lost four consecutive games.
During the losing streak, USF has allowed 75.5 points
per game, compared to 57.4 points per game before that. USF
has won only 18 of its past 42 home games.

SMU +8 Oklahoma

Disciplinarian Matt Doherty is having the big short term
positive influence that many of his ilk have. Under Doherty, who is in his
first year at SMU, the Mustangs have won seven
straight for the first time since 1999-2000. SMU has
the chance to win three road games in succession for the first time in the
program’s history.

SMU’s best wins are over Dayton,
which is getting a couple votes in the AP poll, and
buzzer beaters at TCU and against Illinois
State
.

The loss came, 59-52, at Florida
State
in SMU’s
third game.

The Mustangs have done it with players who were role
players last season. Leading scorer Ike Ofoegbu, a
senior forward, is averaging 13.4 points after averaging 3.8 points last
season.

SMU is balanced, with six players
averaging between nine and 14 points. The Mustangs are holding opponents to
36.1 percent from the field, which ranks among the best in Division I.

The Massey Comparison Ratings, combining the strengths and
weaknesses of all the top power ratings has SMU
ranked at No. 50 and Oklahoma at
64.

Virginia Tech-Georgia

Journal Constitution

Georgia
offensive lineman Ian Smith won’t play in the Chick-fil-A
Bowl against Virginia Tech on Dec. 30, Bulldogs coach Mark Richt
said Sunday night. Without Smith in the bowl game, Georgia
will be back to seven scholarship offensive linemen against the Hokies.Every other Georgia
player who did not suffer a season-ending injury is expected to play against
the Hokies.

Planet Blacksburgh

Georgia, ranked as high as No. 9 this season, spent seven weeks
ranked in the top-25 and brings the SEC’s second-ranked defense into the game
to face the number one defense in the NCAA.

Iowa-Texas

Dallas Morning News

Iowa (6-6),
which lost five of its last six games, opened as an 11 ½ -point underdog – one
of the biggest underdogs of the bowl season. “We’ve seen Michigan,
Ohio State
and Wisconsin firsthand, and
outside of Ohio State
we can play with those teams, and the same goes for Texas,”
Iowa junior running back Albert
Young said. “When we bring our A game, we can compete with anybody.” The Alamodome is adding up to 800 seats in anticipation of the
largest crowd for a sporting event in the stadium’s history. More than 66,000
fans are expected. Texas coach
Mack Brown said the Longhorns (9-3) owe a good performance to their fans. Iowa
is not giving up big plays, having allowed only one run of 30 yards or longer
(34 yards) all season.

Express News

Texas QB Colt McCoy left UT’s loss at Kansas
State
with a stinger injury on Nov.
11, then aggravated it against Texas A&M. Doctors
cleared him Thursday to play in the Alamo Bowl. The Hawkeyes are 1-10 against
the spread this season, making them one of the worst teams in Division I-A
football against the spread.

Boston College-Navy

Washington Post

Boston College
has won six straight bowl games dating from 1999, the longest streak in the
nation entering the bowl season. (Utah
tied the streak with a 25-13 victory over Tulsa
in the Armed Forces Bowl on Saturday.)Yet Navy Coach Paul Johnson has a
similarly strong record in bowl games: Dating from his days as Hawaii’s
offensive coordinator, Johnson has been part of teams that have won four of
their past five bowl games.

Nevada-Miami

Seattle Times

Miami coach Larry Coker, whose team plays
Nevada in the MPC Computers Bowl in chilly Boise on
Sunday, said more than half his Hurricanes have never seen snow. Coker said he
warned his players that if they plan to make weather an issue, “Don’t bother
going.”

Michigan-USC

Associated Press

There was no celebrating a traditional matchup in the Rose
Bowl – at least by the participants. Southern California of the Pac-10 and
Michigan of the Big Ten will meet New Year’s Day in the granddaddy of ‘em all, with each playing in the game for the third time in
four years. Both had hoped to be in Glendale, Ariz.,
a week later, playing for the national title. That honor goes to Ohio
State
and Florida
– ranked 1-2 in the final Bowl Championship Series standings released Sunday.
USC and Michigan had their
chances. The Trojans (10-2) entered the weekend with the inside track toward
facing the unbeaten Buckeyes, but a 13-9 loss to crosstown
rival UCLA on Saturday knocked them out.

No. 3 Michigan (11-1) was overtaken by Florida
(12-1) on the strength of the Gators’ 38-28 triumph over Arkansas
in the Southeastern Conference championship game later Saturday. The Wolverines
didn’t get their hoped-for rematch with the Buckeyes, who beat them 42-39 on Nov. 18 in the final regular-season game for
both teams. USC has played in 30 previous Rose Bowl games, going 21-9, while Michigan
has played in 23, going 11-12.

Boise-Oklahoma

Kitspan Sun

The Jan. 1 contest between his ninth-ranked Broncos (12-0)
and No. 7 Oklahoma (11-2) arguably is the biggest game in Boise
State
history and certainly the
biggest in Petersen’s six seasons at the school — five as offensive coordinator
and one as head coach.

Georgia Tech-West Virginia

Florida Times-Union

West Virginia’s
two offensive leaders are both slowed by injuries but are expected to play in
Monday’s Gator Bowl. Quarterback Pat White, who missed WVU’s
regular-season finale against Rutgers with a sprained
ankle, practiced Tuesday, as did running back Steve Slaton, who is battling a
thigh bruise suffered in a bowl practice n Morgantown,
W.Va.
, before Christmas. The obvious
matchup in the Gator Bowl will be West Virginia’s
spread offense against Georgia Tech’s blitzing, stunting defense. Tech coach
Chan Gailey said the Mountaineers’ ball-handling and
misdirection might keep the Yellow Jackets’ defense back on its heels a bit and
curtail the all-out pressure the unit favored most of the season. But Gailey said he believes the Jackets still have enough team
speed to make big plays, once they figure out who has the ball and where they’re
going.

Wake Forest-Louisville

Associated Press

Picked to finish last in the Atlantic Coast Conference, Wake
Forest
pulled off a championship
season that stunned many onlookers.The
Demon Deacons’ reward
for their record-setting year? A
season-ending matchup with one of the nation’s highest-powered offenses.

This is the ninth straight bowl trip for Louisville
– while Wake Forest
has been to only six other postseason games, most recently beating Oregon
38-17 in the 2002 Seattle Bowl. The Cardinals are 5-7-1 all-time in bowl games; the Demon Deacons 4-2,
including three straight wins. It appears to be a matchup of a strong offense
against a strong defense. The Cardinals are averaging nearly 39 points and 477
yards per game – stats that both rank among the top three out of 119 Division
I-A teams. Louisville’s only loss
of the season was to Rutgers, a game where the Cardinals
blew an 18-point lead and, with it, perhaps a chance to play No. 1 Ohio State
for the national championship. Meanwhile, Wake
Forest
held nine opponents to 17
points or less, winning each of those games, and kept Georgia Tech to a
season-low six points in winning the ACC championship. Already, this is the winningest season in Wake
Forest
history, which looks even
more impressive when considering that the Demon Deacons lost starting
quarterback Ben Mauk and running back Micah Andrews
to injuries early in the year.

The teams have one common opponent this season. Both beat Syracuse,
with Louisville winning 28-13 at
the Carrier Dome and Wake Forest
opening its year with a 20-10 home win over the Orange.

Notre Dame-LSU

Associated Press

The 11th-ranked Irish have had some long days
and nights against elite competition over the past year, starting with a 34-20
loss to Ohio State
in January’s Fiesta Bowl. The speedy Buckeyes burned the Irish for four
touchdowns of 56 yards or more. The speed of Michigan’s
defense caused problems for Notre Dame’s offensive line and quarterback Brady
Quinn, who threw a season-high three interceptions and fumbled once. Wolverine
receiver Mario Manningham caught three touchdown
passes, including a 69-yarder that broke the game open. USC’s
Dwayne Jarrett also had three touchdown catches against the Irish. Now the Irish will try to snap an eight-game losing streak in bowl
games on Jan. 3 against No. 4 LSU (10-2), which is
known for its speed, especially on defense.
Despite playing a tough
Southeastern Conference schedule, LSU has the nation’s
second-best defense, giving up just 238 yards a game. The Tigers also are third
in the nation in pass defense, giving up 145.5 yards a game. The Tigers are
almost as potent offensively, ranking 18th
in the nation at 404 yards a game. JaMarcus Russell
was third in pass efficiency, completing 68.5 percent and averaging 168 yards a
game. Weis is among those harping on it. He conceded before the USC game that
after weeks of playing teams like Navy, Air Force and Army, he was worried the
Irish might be slow to adjust to USC’s speed. To
guard against that in getting ready for the Sugar Bowl, he plans to have the
starting offense go against the starting defense, at least during early bowl
preparations.

No. 4 LSU, which had yearned for
a chance to head west for its first Rose Bowl, will instead stay in its own
state, making the short trip to New Orleans.
The Tigers (10-2) shot into Bowl Championship Series consideration by closing
the regular season with a six-game winning streak, capped by a 31-26 triumph at
Arkansas. The Razorbacks had
already clinched a spot in the Southeastern Conference title game, but LSU felt it might have been the best team in what views
itself as the country’s toughest league by the end of the year. Notre Dame
(10-2) will be playing in its first Sugar Bowl since 1992, when a Lou
Holtz-coached team knocked off Florida
39-29.LSU lobbied hard for a trip to the Rose Bowl, soliciting orders for more
than 42,000 tickets. It appeared the oldest and most glamorous of the
postseason games would pick the Tigers to face Michigan
– until Southern Cal’s loss to UCLA messed up those plans. Coach Les Miles
insisted it wasn’t a letdown to learn that the Tigers’ next game would be right
down the road instead of on the West Coast, saying it provides another chance
to help New Orleans recover from the devastating storm.

Cincinnati-Middle Tennessee State

Detroit News

Brian Kelly will be coaching his new team, Cincinnati,
in the International Bowl on Jan. 6 against Western Michigan
in Toronto. There was some question
about who would coach the Bearcats in the game after Mark Dantonio
left Cincinnati to become the coach
Michigan State.
Pat Narduzzi, Cincinnati’s
defensive coordinator, was named interim coach before Kelly was hired Sunday. Cincinnati
athletic director Mike Thomas confirmed Tuesday that Kelly will have a coaching
staff in place to work the bowl. The number of CMU assistants who will join him
remains to be seen.

CHICAGO -6 Miami

People are getting all excited about a Heat revenge
situation. Chicago
is quite fired up wanting to prove they are a legitimate contender. The Bulls
are outscoring teams by a sensational 101.9-88.6 at home.

The Bulls should have no confidence issues against the
Heat after the opening night romp, not to mention the fact that they’re playing
at home, where they are 12-2, and have won 13 of their past 16 games overall.
But these Bulls are also scoring more than they have the past two seasons,

CAROLINA +6.5 Atlanta

The oddsmakers are finally jumping off the Carolina
bandwagon. This was the same team that the media had going to the Super Bowl
earlier this year. Remember we’ve never
been a fan of the gunslinger attitude of Jake Delhomme, so his being out is
well overcompensated for.

The Panthers have the edge in most defensive categories
including total yards per game by 33.9.

Michael Vick, the Falcons underachieving quarterback is
fighting a groin injury. Sorry folks, Vick is pretty
much a sissy. This is a major injury for
a guy who a couple of years ago said he can’t come back from an injury until
he’s 100 percent.

I would not count on him when the chips are down Losers of 5-of-7

Chiefs-Raiders

KCChiefs.com

Both of these former AFL foes are seeking to get back on
the winning track in this Saturday night contest. Kansas
City
is attempting to snap a three-game losing streak
after suffering a 20-9 loss in a Sunday night contest at San
Diego
(12/17). Meanwhile, Oakland
is currently mired in a seven-game losing streak after suffering a 20-0 setback
vs. St. Louis (12/17). Kansas
City
will be attempting to win its eighth straight
contest against a Raiders franchise has never lost eight consecutive games to a
single opponent. Although the Chiefs have won seven straight contests against Oakland,
all of those games have all been decided by six points or less, with KC winning
by an average margin of just 4.7 points per game. Chiefs RB
Larry Johnson has scored the game-winning points with under two minutes
remaining in the fourth-quarter of the last two Chiefs-Raiders match-ups.

KC Star

KC John Welbourn and Dante Hall
returned to practice. Welbourn probably will start at
right tackle against the Raiders.

Sacramento Bee

Starting
quarterback Aaron Brooks sat out practice Thursday morning because of a sore
neck. Raiders coach Art Shell
characterized it as “a little stiff, so there’s some concern.” He listed the
quarterback’s status for Saturday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs as “probable.”

East
Carolina-South Florida

Sporting News

Last year, South Florida (8-4) made its first bowl
appearance since starting the program from scratch a decade ago, losing 14-0 to
North Carolina State in the Meineke Car Care Bowl. East
Carolina
(7-5) hasn’t been back to a bowl since a 64-61,
double-overtime loss to Marshall in
the 2001 GMAC Bowl—which remains the highest scoring bowl game in history. South
Florida
grabbed its own measure of respect with a 24-19 upset of
No. 13 West Virginia in its regular-season finale. East Carolina
is 0-3 in Birmingham and has lost
all nine of its games played in the state of Alabama,
including two GMAC Bowl defeats. The Pirates also lost 17-12 earlier this
season at UAB after losing a late fumble inside the
5-yard line.

San Jose State-New Mexico

Observer Online

The Lobos (6-6) are seeking its first bowl victory in 45
years and are playing in their fourth bowl in the past five years. They started
the season with a 2-4 record, including a 17-6 loss to Div.
I-AA Portland State

in the season opener. San Jose State
is playing in its first bowl game since 1990, when they beat Central
Michigan
48-24 in the California Raisin Bowl. The Spartans are 4-3
all-time in bowls, although this is their first postseason appearance outside
the state of California. New
Mexico
’s starting quarterback will either be senior
Chris Nelson or redshirt freshman Donovan Porterie.
Head coach Rocky Long said the quarterback who looks the best this week will
get the starting nod. Subbing for an injured Porterie,
Nelson started the final two regular-season games against BYU
and San Diego State;
he has started six times during the 2006 season. Porterie
is expected to be full strength after suffering a sprained left ankle in the
third quarter against TCU on Nov. 11. Porterie won his first three career starts between Oct. 14-28, all in come-from-behind fashion. It’s an
extremely young New Mexico team
that will take the field as just five seniors are definite starters, and that
includes kicker Kenny Byrd. Only nine seniors see significant playing time:
four on offense, four on defense and a kicker.

Utah-Tulsa

Examiner Enterprise

Although not riding the giddy momentum of last year’s
unexpected Conference USA
championship showing, Tulsa still brings
a highly-respectable 8-4 record into the game. The Utes, who hail from the
Mountain West Conference, finished at 7-5. Sizewise,
the teams match up almost dead even in the pit. Utah
averages nearly 300 pounds across its offensive line, going up against a Tulsa
defensive line which weighs out at approximately 293 pounds per man. Tulsa’s
offensive line is just a pound or two bigger per man than the Utes.Tulsa brings in a stronger rushing attack, which may
be the difference in the game.The Golden Hurricane
had rushed for 2,011 yards (167.6 yards per game), and are averaging 4.4 yards
per rush. Utah, on the other
hand, is averaging only 138.4 yards rushing per game. However, the Utes also
boast one of the nation’s best run defenses, allowing just 107.3 yards per
outing. If the Golden Hurricane can mount an effective rushing game against Utah,
it could open up the floodgate for Tulsa’s
passing attack. The Golden Hurricane were ranked 30th in the nation
in passing, led by junior triggerman Paul Smith. Smith threw for 2,589 yards
while establishing an impressive 143.13 passer efficiency rating.
