St. Petersburg Bowl, Dec. 26, 11:00 ET
Connecticut vs. Marshall
Huskies (+) over Thundering Herd- The Huskies became bowl eligible by handing Houston their only loss of the season (be it the Cougars were without their outstanding quarterback Ward) and are now in a bowl for the first time since they got trounced by Oklahoma in 2010. in that win over Houston Connecticut lost their QB Bryant Shirreffs to a concussion but will be back for this encounter. Marshall who has beaten only one bowl time has won nine of their last 10 bowl appearances but will be without star running back Devon Johnson and will go with freshman Chase Litton at quarterback. The Huskies are 4-0 lifetime against C-USA and add another win here. Take CONNECTICUT.
