At 8:00pm ET, my December Bowl Game Of the Month is on South Florida. San Jose State had a really fine season. They had very few returning starters and a new head coach. Going 7-5 and getting to a bowl game should be considered to be a successful season, no matter what happens here. Laying more than a field goal against a USF team which is arguably more talented than they are is a tall order though. The Spartans weren't necessarily expected to get to a bowl but the Bulls absolutely were. After a 2-4 start to the season, it didn't look good for the Bulls. They showed a lot of resolve though and won 4 of their final 6 to get here. With a 6-6 record, they badly want to win this game and finish with a winning record instead of a losing one. I won with the Bulls in their Bowl game last year, mentioning how important winning the bowl was to the USF program. You might remember that game, they were underdogs and they beat Syracuse 45-0! Byrum Brown threw three touchdown passes and became the second USF quarterback with 4,000 total yards in a season. Brown has been out since September but has been working hard to get back. With or without Brown, this USF team is coming here on a mission to secure another victory. The Spartans are off 3-point win, their 3rd game decided by 4 or less. Grab the points.
