This years Suger Bowl will feature the SEC Champs Alabama Crimson Tide and the Sun Belt Champs the Troy Trojans. This is the second BCS Bowl game for the Trojans as 3 seasons ago they finished the regular season undefeated before losing their bowl game to the Cal Bears. This year Troy is considerable underdogs against the big bad crimson tide. The Crimson Tide are not worried about the #2 ranked Defense of Troy, because Troy made its name by playing stifling D against the pass leading to many takeaways, but are only middle of the pack against the run.
Unfortnately for Troy that is the bread and butter of the crimson tide. The Crimson Tide is one player short of the two headed monster they used most of the season as Michael Roach is out for the season, but Nate Berry who led the nation in rushing will be asked to carry the load on his own. Berry stated that he would be more the ready for the challenge. Expect Bama to pound the ball and where down the defense of Troy on their way to a convincing victory.

The Liberty Bowl features two interesting teams this season, The Mountaineers of West Virgina and the Tulane Green Wave. The Green Wave really has not gotten their just do in the press this season, mostly because of the Mid Major conference their in. But dont forget Tulane was at one time ranked #3 in the nation till a loss to the Hokies in the very last game of the regular season, dropping them out of a BCs bowl game. ALL American LB McQueen of WVU will have his hands full with Tulane and their 1st Team All American Sophmore Jermaine Wright who was the second leading rusher going into the Bowl Season. What is more impressive about Jermaine's season is he was not even the starter to begin the year, J. Mo (Fr. Jeremiah Moses) was the starter before going down for the season. The X Factors for todays game will be the play of the Duel Threat QBs of WVU and Tulane, both have amazing speed which makes them very dangerous but are suspect in the passing game, it may be the one who has the bigger game that decides the outcome of the Liberty Bowl

Today was a sad day for Buffalo Bulls Football, despite a 62 -43 victory of the Bulldogs, as it offically marked the end of a glorious 9 years. In Coach Gonzales final game patrolling the sidelines in his customary Ecko Hoody, he watched on as he Seniors played their hearts out one last time, and the young men that he recruited that will remain at Buffalo played with heavy Hearts. Albert Wiley led the charge for Buffalo on their way to 63 points as he had over 300 yards of total offense and 5 Touchdowns, while Sophmore QB Ryan Evans showed why he was a Maxwell and Obrian Winner his Frosh Year by passing for 350 yards and 3 Tds and adding a touchdown on the ground, who now with the departure of Coach G will mull heading to the NFL.
Coach G stated after the game when asked about his tenure in Buffalo " I want to think AD here in Buffalo for the oppertunity i was given as a nobody. It has been a pleasure coaching here, and the support me and my family has gotten has been great. We were able to accomplish a lot of special things here and Buffalo and Buffalo will always be a place I hold dear to the heart. I also wanna think all the special young men that have come through program that have made my job so much easier and made me look like a genius over the years. I have a heavy heart in leaving such a great program with great management and the best fans in the world, but I look forward in to the new beginning and chapter in my coaching career.
When Coach G was asked about Buffalo being left out of the National Title game to defend their title, and whether or not he would lobby for a split in votes for #1 after the BCS champ game. Coach G stated, "I was taught long ago by my mother if I had nothing good to say about something or someone not to say anything at all."
