Outback Bowl Jan. 1 Tampa, FL vs. Ole Miss

Last week it looked like the experts were picking the Hawks to end up in the Outback Bowl against S. Carolina. This week it is all over the place, from Alamo to Outback. The main reason is the experts don’t think Ohio St will get a BCS bowl. That means Ohio St falls to Cap One, Michigan St falls to Outback and so on. The Hawks still need to beat Minnesota. Last season there were plenty of upsets in the last few weeks, so who can tell where the Hawks will go.

The Hawks got a close win against Purdue. The defense looked great, limiting the Boilermakers to 86 yards on the ground. Of course, the Hawks got only 72 yard through the air. The only thing on offense that worked was Shonn Greene who racked up 211 yards and 2 TDs.

The win improved the Hawks bowl standing. A win in Minnesota next weekend should lead to a January 1 bowl.
