And Russell Wilson has already made an impact of the Badger offense. He was 10 or 13 with for 255 yards through the air with another 62 yards on the ground with three touchdowns. Monty Ball also added another 130 all purpose yards and 4 TD's. Needless to say Wisconsin made jumping around into a big bowl game again this season.
Utah showed off its new offense with OC Norm Chow calling the plays. We'll see what happens when Chow takes his offensive power to his three former schools (BYU, USC, and UCLA).
Syracuse dodged a huge bullet last night by rallying to beat Wake Forest in overtime after being down 26-14 going into the fourth quarter.
Another good game coming your way tonight will be the TCU Horned Frogs against Rival, Baylor. Robert Griffin III who threw for over 3,000 yards last season, takes on a defense that brings back MWC Defensive Player of the Year Tank Carder and fellow LB Tanner Brock. TCU also breaks in new Quarterback Casey Pachall who will play against an underrated Baylor Defense. Expect this to be a close game.
TCU 20-Baylor 17
