Tuesday night football!! The second ESPN owned and operated bowl games… what, you thought they were just interested in broadcasting?
The Basics: 8:00 PM ET on ESPN, from St. Petersburg. FIU (8-4, 5-3 Sun Belt) and Marshall (6-6, 5-3 MAC).
The History: The pageantry, the tradition, the previous snarkasm at your favorite website.
Florida International Panthers- The Panther D is 16th in the nation in scoring allowed, which explains how they were able to win big games against Louisville and Akron; though it should be noted that they fell to Duke. I know, right? Kedrick Rhodes and Wesley Carroll have accounted for 3300 yards of total offense.
Marshall Thundering Herd – Doc Holliday’s team really struggled statistically this year, in the bottom part of the nation in rushing and scoring defense. That being said, they managed to beat Southern Miss and Rice behind Rakeem Catos 1800 passing yards- he’s got 13 TDs and 10 INTs, though… this may not be pretty.
Fun Facts- The Buckeyes have never faced the Panthers, but the last game against Marshall was tons of fun. So- here’s more about the named sponsor.
